[solved] Make hard drive larger

Post by rdonnelly »

Problem: When I installed win 2k it defaulted to 4GB dynamically expanding storage, it filled up fast. Any way to make it larger?

Reading the FAQ, it says run live CD, live CD would only allow 7.8 more MB?

So I guess I am on my own, I created a new VD 20GB, copied the drive image to it With Powerquest Drive Image, I then had to resize the partition in windoze with Partition Magic, I suppose you could do the same with Live CD, but I already own the PM Program, and rebooted my new 20GB with no problems and all my work and updates totally intact. :mrgreen:
