Morning,

So, two days ago I installed Vista Business onto my machine. I used Partion Magic 8 to make a 10Gb partiton off my SATA drive for Vista. Little did I know, 10Gb is just too small for Vista, if you're wanting to load and test stuff on it. So, off I went, loaded Vista, all worked. Installed Vista on the 10Gb (E:) drive, ran perfectly.

So, last night I decided; "No, let's make the partion bigger, say 40Gb?"

So, I rebooted into Xp Pro, and loaded up Partion Magic 8 again, deleted the 10Gb partion, as I could not resize it. Then tried to merge it into the main partion. However, I get an error saying targe drive C: is using a different NTFS version. So therefore, I have 10Gb of space wasted, sitting doing nothing. Without a complete format, deleteing all partions, how do I fix this?

Any help guys?

Many thanks!
(Lucky I didn't activate Vista! :eek: :cool: )
 
If you shrink the XP driver or other drive (not Vista) - You can make the driver bigger in Vista as long as it is unallocated space.

I'm not too sure. Because when I was in Vista, it showed my Vista drive as C: when I installed it on E: ?
 
Yes I had the same thing. Vista seems to call the system partition C: regardless of where it actually is on the hard drive.
