+BudMan MVC Posted March 28, 2003 MVC Share Posted March 28, 2003 You did not look very hard - I'm like 99% sure partition manager will do it http://www.partition-manager.com/ Edit - does not 9.1 have NTFS resize built in? Also, did you mean a FREE tool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Veteran Posted March 28, 2003 Veteran Share Posted March 28, 2003 use ntswitch.exe to switch the server to a workstation, then install partition magic. even the 30 day demo will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted March 28, 2003 MVC Share Posted March 28, 2003 Well you know - sometimes when people post ftp sites that stuff can be uploaded to. FREE stuff shows up :whistle: edit: but I am fairly sure one of the Big things about Mandrake 9.1 is NTFS resize - this is FREE also. Can tell for sure in about 30 mins, downloading now.

betax Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 Powerquest VOLUME manager 2.0 works wonders (just have to run the setup and program in Win2000 compatibility mode) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
