Partition Resize in Raid?

[Wingz]

My Games Partition is running out of space so I installed Partition Magic so I can do some resizing but when It load it says "Partition Table Is Bad", I assume its because the drives are in raid and PM does not recognise it. So I guess you can not resize partitions when in Raid?

As far as the OS is concerned the RAID array is a single physical HDD, the fact that the partition is on an array should be of no concern. Are you sure that the version of PM is up to date and supports the particular version of NTFS used by your OS?

I've resized mine a few times with partition magic, RAID 0 here.

Are you using vista by any chance?

I had to do it in XP as partition magic doesn't work in vista apparently. If you only have vista and are not dual booting with xp I think you can create a floppy boot disk to perform the resizing before you get into vista.

Not 100% sure on that last part, just vaguely remember reading something like that when I was looking to see if it would work in vista.

thanks for the replies I'm using XP and just looked up the problem

#100 Partition table is bad
The master boot record (MBR) can contain, at most, one extended partition, and each extended partition boot record (EPBR) can contain, at most, one link to another EPBR. This error occurs when a partition table violates the foregoing rule. It can also occur if you have more than one active partition. Since any modifications PartitionMagic makes may decrease the amount of data that is recoverable from the hard disk, PartitionMagic does not recognize any of the hard disk's partitions. If you must create new, error-free partition tables to resolve your problem, see Resolving partition table errors for instructions.

atm my Partitions looks like this
