| Re: If I shrink it, can i unshrink it? I would assume it'd be the same way? Or you can download and burn to LiveCD KNOPPIX and use QTParted to partition your drive. Or Ubuntu LiveCD, but I have found that Knoppix is simpler.   | ||||||||||||||

Yea, I used to make these sigs when I couldn't find one already. But I think I'm gonna have to chop this one down by 500% or something cuz it may be way too big. Did u get QTParted working? | |||||||||||||||

| Re: If I shrink it, can i unshrink it? Yes, you can unshrink it. I'm assuming you're using Vista's disk manager? If so it's the same way, only instead of telling it to shrink the partition you will tell it to extend (expand?) it. Can't say I'd recommend QTParted on NTFS partitions made by Vista. I don't know what, but it seems Vista has changed the standards on NTFS partitions or something. I've always had issues using 3rd party partition programs on NTFS partitions made by Vista (and vice versa, I used Partition Magic to make an NTFS partition for Vista one time and suddenly couldn't boot vista OR XP from that disk after installing vista).

| Re: If I shrink it, can i unshrink it? Yes, i did get it to extend, there was an option to do so. Guess I overlooked it. Thanks for the help though!
