Hi, Thank you very much for all the top tips. I am partiticularly excited about the new features that are in the BETA versions of ntfsresize. Unfortunately, I couldn't bring myself to try any of the more exciting options you described as they all seemed a little destructive (as I don't have a full backup of Windows 2000). Partition magic 8.x saved the day. It really is magic... it removed 1GB from my ntfs partition and simply stuck it on one of my ext3 partitions without batting an eye lid :) Cheers and thanks again, Raphael Szakacsits Szabolcs wrote: >>> find -inum 2694 >>>./WINNT/system32/config/software.LOG >>> >>>a) Can I simply delete/copy+delete that file.
