From: "Hugh" > I've heard good things about Ranish partition manager, > but have never used it. > http://www.snapfiles.com/get/ranish.html Question was: >> Can anyone recommend a way to resize an existing NTFS partition on a SATA >> drive without destroying the data? Cheaper options are preferred. This has never supported NTFS, and on other file systems it will not move data if the data is "in the way"... (Since data is "~always~" in the way, it can't "generally" re-size the way you want unless you can move the data "out of the way" yourself (somehow). What the above means is that if there is data at the end of a disk, the partition can NOT be made smaller because the data is "in the way"... Their is a long and drawn-out "workaround" of doing a little at a time by doing a juggling act, but unless conditions are right for that it will not work either...
