I am trying to resize a partition (using presizer v.
1.3.4) but it is unable to do so. I believe this is due
to unmoveable files. I have tried to defrag using both
MS defrag and Norton Speed Disk. Both show unmovable
files, but this is a data only drive (no system files or
application programs). How can I find which files are
unmoveable, and how do I change them to moveable? Thank
you.
 
A file is unmoveable when it is being used by the operating system or
another program. I assume the presizer is booted up via a floppy and
therefore is using dos. If this is so then all the files should be moveable.
Have you tried running a chkdsk to see if you have a corrupted partition.
Also make sure you do not have a virus.
You must also resize partitions in a particular order. You must make one of
the partitions smaller so the other partition can be larger, etc.
