TIP: Using XP's Dynamic Disks feature to resize disks

Postby WWSensei on Fri May 04, 2007 1:06 pm

I posted a tutorial on our forums for using XP's built-in ability to utilize dynamic disks to grow a drive (other than the boot drive) if you are running our of room. It has many pics so 56K users beware. Rather than repost it here I'll provide the link. You don't need to register on our forum to read it.

Hope you find it useful.

Very well done Sensei! Thanks for posting it.

I didn't know Windows could do this. Upto now I allways used Paragon Partition Manager for things like this.

Thanks again Interesting indeed!

Your welcome. Yeah, this technique works well for growing disks. If you need to shrink one then parition products like Paragon or Partition Magic are better solutions. My next tutorial will be on mounting disks to paths (similar to mounting partitions in Unix).
