(I should hope you kept a backup of the info in case something didn't work correctly!) Some suggestions (which you could have found if you took the time to do a little research): ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/diskutil/fips15.zip (probably the DOS version of the Linux FIPS also mentioned in this thread) ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/diskutil/presz115.zip A DOS partition resizer, haven't tried it, but I suppose it should work. Oh, BTW, why not just backup, repartition, format, and restore? > HELP! PLEASE!
