bsyuni Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 It is not quite related with Mandrake linux, though. I would like to use partition resize. My desktop was installed window 2000 Pro and it has 40 giga byte hard disk drive. As you know before that work, I must run disk defragment in windows 2000. After running disk defragment, I noticed that some system files did not move. Even I have 5 giga byte free space so that I have only 500 Mega byte. How can I move the system files to get more space for Mandrake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illogic-al Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 mandrake's install program can resize NTFS disks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsyuni Posted July 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 (edited) Yes, we can resize NTFS from MDK9.X. and MDK10.0 My question is that how I can move system files in MS windows 2000. The system files are located near end of the cylinder of the disk so that I can not have enought space to install MDK10.0. Even I make a room about 5GB but due to the system files I can only get 500MB. system files || empty space || used space || empty space || system files || empty space ...................................................................4.5 GB.............30MB......500MB ............................................................|<-Should be moved here-| ................................................................................ .......................| ........................................................................I can cut here only -->| Sorry for my previous ambiguous question.

A little voice in the corner of my mind is telling me that this could be dangerous... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polemicz Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 If you have it try using Partition Magic to resize. From my experience it does a nice job of moving NTFS files around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
