Can you answer this???

My father in law has his hard drive partitioned with like 6 gig on C: and 34 gig on D:. He never had a system with a partitioned HD so when he installed all his software and crap he put it all on C: instead of D: and when he ran outta room he remembered to put it on D:.
So we go to put Partition Magic 8 on to resize his partition. I go to load it and it just sits there and locks try again it locks and so forth. He has 500 mb free on C: and gets some errors sometimes and I'm half tempted to take it from him and redo his pc for him but he don't wanna sit there and put all his stuff back on after all that work he did...Would freein up some space on C: (say about a gig) help out the virtural memory?

Run PQMAgic from DOS, I would never trust running something like that in Windows.

can i resize from dos and does one of the partitions have to be fromated or can they both have data on them it it will just be moved around while resizing?
I never had to do this before
Thanks

The whole point of buying PQMagic is the ability to resize filesystems, so yes it'll work.

I just wanted to be sure he wouldn't loose any data in the prosess

Piracy is not condoned here, admitting you're a loser that can't spend $50 to save your data is pretty bad.

And sad. not all pirated versions work. You get what you pay for. don't come whineing to us when your disk is toasted.
