Moving and Resizing Dynamic Partitions

[ppuddick]

Hi all, I have two 60Gb hard disks on my pc both with two 60Gb NTFS partitions which are dynamic. I would like to dual boot with Linux but I need to resize and move the NTFS partition on the 1st disk. I wiill keep the 2nd disk as storage.

I've tried using Partition Magic to move and resize the partition but no go! How can I move and resize and dynamic partiion?

Will I have to use another third party uility or is there something within Windows XP that I can use like Diskpart for instance?

Thanks in advance

Hi again, Please ignore that last message.

I've delved into it and found that I really need to convert the drive back to a basic disk. I have found a way to do this using another third party tool.

Doh!

Or use Dispart.exe under XP.

You already have it.
