I just asked this question a few weeks ago. It seems that you can shrink the Windows partition, but you must use partition Magic to do it. Since I can not acquire that at the moment, my project is temporarily on hold. I only need it for this one little job, and that's it, but I would still have to buy the entire bloody program, and no-one wants used software.:) The second hard drive solution should work fine. Unfortunately, in my case, it's a lap top. Luke On Wed, 6 Nov 2002, Lee Maschmeyer wrote: > Yes, Virginia, there is life outside Daisy.
