Has anyone used partition magic ?
I have a HD with 2 XP installation in the same drive but different
partitions. Both partitions are about 90% used. I want to know if I can
resize the smallest one, take the space from the biggest one. I don't care if
I loose the data from hth big partition, I just don't want to format and
loose the data form the smallest partition.
Does partition magic do that ? Does anyone know about it ? I dont want to
buy and waste my money.


Yes, Partition Magic does that, as do a number of other programs.
Partition Magic is the best-known such program, but there are
freeware/shareware alternatives. One such program is BootIt Next
Generation. It's shareware, but comes with a free 30-day trial, so you
should be able to do what you want within that 30 days. I haven't used
it myself (because I've never needed to use *any* such program), but
it comes highly recommended by several other MVPs here.

Whatever software you use, make sure you have a good backup before
beginning. Although there's no reason to expect a problem, things
*can* go wrong.
