Q: I installed Win2k for the first time yesterday, and my primary partition is 40 GB of a 40 GB drive. There is a secondary partition of 8 MB. I want my primary partition, only 4 GB and a number of other partitions to create. I can do or should I reinstall Win2k, regrouping of the whole HD? Thanks.
Dan: confused:
Best Answer: I would get the Windoze 2k disk and use "fixmbr" to kill grub and get Windoze booting all by itself. (I don't know what VBox is, but you are the one who needs google, not me, so I am NOT going to look it up and thus, the following might not be correct – your call.) And then, ONLY then, fire up the kubuntu install CD/DVD and delete the Fedora partitions and install kubuntu, setting up the necessary partitions along the way. Easy!
Fixmbr kills grub, gets the Windoze bootloader in charge once again, so you can kill it with kubuntu and reinstall grub.
Easy!

Re:well it's not if its a server version, it's ntfs, u need the Server version of partition magic to work with NTFS, PM will work on a Win2kserver formated with fat32 though, pretty sure, but could be wrong ..

Re:You can use Partition Magic. However, if the version of Windows 2000 is the Server versions, you will have to use ServerMagic. Partition Magic will not work on the Server versions of Windows 2000.

Re:Partition Resizer (http://members.nbci.com/Zeleps/) try this, you can only resize the partitions with diskmanagement, only if the volumes were initialy created as dynamic disk, as far as i know, but this program should work for u, jus put it on a boot disk, and try it .. good
luck ..

Re:In theory, it can be done. The OS has a IOCTL defined that allows a program to tell the OS to do it.
However, I'm unaware of any utilities that take advantage of this functionality.
I don't think you'll be able to use that 8MB area. The way that W2K calculates things, I think you'll always see that 8MB of unallocated space. I don't know the details of why, tho.

Re:If you move to Dynamic disk mode then you can, but you cant change your boot partition.
I would recommend Partition Magic or some similar 3rd party software.
