You heard right. Partition Magic does this and more. I have Windows 98 and
Windows NT on 4.3 Gig Drive. The neat thing about Partition Magic (I have
4.0) is that it provides a boot manager that when you select Win9x or
another OS you can hide  any partions you don't want the other to see. Hence
Win98 cannot see the WinNT partiton, and vice versa when in NT.

P.S.
I don't know much about 5.0 if anyone has any comments on it I 'd love to
hear it.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Repartitioning an installed hard drive


Is there any way that I can repartition my 3.2gig HD, which is now
partitioned into a 2.0 & a 1.2 gig HD?

I am using Windows95 (original build) and recall reading once (a long
time ago) about a utility which allows you to collapse both partitions
into one large one - without losing data/files and which also reduces
cluster size significantly.  I know that I could accomplish the same
thing by installing Windows98, but I would like to avoid that, since I
have heard bad things about Windows98 and it has taken me 2 years to get
Windows95 to function properly (no crashes and only a few 'hangs' every
other day or so).  Perhaps I should switch to Linux or WindowsNT.  I
have WindowsNT 4.0 at the office and it has its own quirks, hardly an
improvement over Window95.

Any advice, opinions or anecdotes would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
