I need to do some repartitioning on my HD, with Win2K Pro as my OS.
This is how I have it partitioned now:
C - 2.01 GB NFTS (1.79 GB used, 210 MB free)
E - 13.3 GB FAT32 (1,72 GB used, 11.5 GB free)
F - 13.3 GB FAT32 (7.07 GB used, 6.22 GB free)
The problem I'm running into is that I need more space on the C drive, more than I thought I would when I installed Win2K. Can I use Partition Magic to add space on that partition, stealing it from the E partition? Especially since I have the OS on NFTS. Not sure which Partition Magic version to buy though.
Any advice would be appreciated. I can't even defrag because free space is less than 15 percent (10 percent right now). The defrag tool in Win2K wants 15 percent or more free space on the drive before defragmenting.
What does anyone think about DiskKeeper for a defrag tool instead of what I'm using now.
Thanks for any advice.
repartitioning Win2K?
Diskkeeper is good. AS for PM, they should be coming out with a new one that can handle XP, so you might want to wait. Why you chose NTFS is your decision - in the meantime (till you get PM)
you could shut down Hibernation and resize your pagefile to give you enough room to defrag. I am not sure whether you can move you pagefile to a FAT32 partion - FAT16 probably but I don't know about FAT32 - maybe someone here does.
