Can I increase my Win2k boot partition greater than 8 gig?

[Guest]

Hi
I currently have Windows 2000 on a 4 gig partition. I would like to increase the size of the C: drive to around 15 gig. When I do the resize in Partition Magic and reach 8 gigs, I get a message that the drive may not be bootable
Can I ignore this message and continue with the resize?
Thanks in advance.

Assuming you have a modern motherboard / disk controller made within the
past 2 or 3 years, yes. I have 1 server with a 146GB single disk boot drive.

I think so. I think they're talking about

and

which apply to NT4, but not to W2K.
