I have a dual boot with 98 on one partition and XP on a
second partition. Currently 20GB per partition. Can I
change this so 98 has 10GB and XP has 30GB? If so, how?

You cannot change partition size from within XP. You will have to either
re-format or use 3rd party software. PowerQuest Partition Magic is one such
program.

LOL, JAX

To change partition sizes without losing contents of drive -

Buy Partition Magic:
http://www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic/

or Bootit NG, www.bootitng.com -- 30-days fully functional shareware.

~~~~~~


Hope this helps.

Short of cleaning off the disk and starting over you would need third
party software - say Partition Magic 8, or I use BootIT NG, from
http://www.BootitNG.com ($35 shareware - 30 day full functional trial)
