I guess it's > bye bye Windows. No. I don't think. If you have some courage, you can write a small dos or linux or bsd basing program, which moves your partition a few cylinders ago (right word?). Don't forget to modify the MBR! If Your Windows partition is to big, use fips before to shrink it. Inside a FAT partition, all sectors are addressed relative to the start (LBA), so it makes no difference for the system were the partition starts. the algorithm should be like int i; unsigned n = 100MB; for( i = last sector; i >= 0; i-- ) hd_sector[i+n] = hd_sector[i]; > Thanks anyway. Thank me when I helped you solve your problem, not when I help you crash your HD :-) http://prime-mover.cc.waikato.ac.nz/simon.html Ciao -- Jens Rehsack --- http://www.informatik.uni-halle.de/~rehsack/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
