Partition Magic is a great tool I've used it for re-sizing but not for fixing a lost setup partition. Remember to keep a minimum of 10% free disk space on each partition. You loose some performance in file writes, it isn't a small loss of performance either. Read suffers a little but the file write becomes a pain. Linux uses a partition for swap space a fixed place for memory paging. Linux checks for lost links and such upon startup. I think "fschk" is the program Windows uses a file for swap/page so on a windows machine it's really important that "at least" 10% of disk is free. On a Windows machine you should run scandisk once per week and defrag once per month. PHPTOm wrote: >Is is possible and not terribly dangerous to resize a partition?
