Hi Stef,

Yes, both partitions are on the same hard drive, and came that way from
the factory. Even though I have a full backup including registry on an
external hard drive, I would never do anything risky or unknown before
getting advice
from our newsgroup members such as you. I will certainly look into a
recent edition of Partition Magic and follow your advice.

Symantec has abandoned Partition Magic. They no longer offer it on
their web site. V8 is the latest(?) version and it is five years old.
XP is the last Windows version it will run on. Google shows lots of
places offering downloads but you never know what lurks within. If
you know someone with it, they may be able to build you a stand alone
CD.

Hi Barry,

Thanks for the 2 posts. Although my newest PC runs windows 7 Home Pro,
my problem hard drive is on an older PC running XP. Therefore, I assume
that the old Partition Magic will still work. We'll see. I do have a
full external hard drive back-up including registry in native format,
so I'll try using the Partition Magic, albeit carefully.

Thanks again,

Mort Linder
