<P>Hi Greg,</P><P>You should take some precautions prior to do this, like c=
ompact your W98 disk (not compress, compact) as otherwise, when you 'll mod=
ify the sizes of your partitions, you should get some files "corrupted=
".</P><P>I hope you did'nt compress your W98 partition, as you should =
render it difficult to reboot later... </P><P>Can I suggest you to find som=
e program like Partition Magic? They made a pretty good job and it's workin=
g fine. I know you want to avoid such program, but why reinvent the wheel?<=
