partition magic problem

[ripken204]

i have 2.2 gigs free on my c: drive and i want to make it a gig smaller but when i do that in part magic and then it restarts to do it, it does nothing, the part magic screen comes up and says press any key to abort it from doing its job and after that it just boots into windows and doesnt partition c:

any idea why its being gay?

i don't know much about computers, but from what i do know, i don't think you can resize partitions unless you totally reformat the hard drive.

and i am able to resize logial parts

i actually just installed it for this job b/c i did a clean install a few days ago

ill also give those boot/recovery disks a try, ive used it before and hopefully it will allow me to do it

Have a look at BootIt NG - partitioning, imaging, and boot management. Free 30 day trial or $US35 to buy.

BootIt NG

I've used it on many occasions for various partitioning procedures and image creation and restoration - and not had any problems.
