I have PartitionMagic 5.0 on a computer with two hard disks and dual boot
OS (Win98 & NT4), hence it ended up with 7 (FAT, FAT32 and NTFS) partitions
and 7 logical drives.
>From the menu bar:
Operations > Resize / Move
Operations > Convert
etc
a series of operation can be set up before applying it.
1. Resize D: partition (to create room for C: partition)
2. Resize C: partition
3. Execute operations
The resizing is quite straightforward with direct text entry, spinner or
dragging the horizontal partition bar.
I have increased the C: partitions (it has Win98 only but it keeps growing
with system files from application installed elsewhere) a few times without
any hassle, but it is always a good idea to do a back-up beforehand.
