Re: Re-partioning

[Darren Grant <darren.grant@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok thanks, Alexander... I checked out parted but it doesn't seem to be 
able to handle NTFS partitions ...  I should have been more specific 
about XP being on an NTFS partition.  Anyway... that's a good idea to 
check out the archives... should be able to find the answer there.
