Re: freeware partition manager?

["Nathan Shirey" <nsshirey@xxxxxxx>]

problem is that i've got a logical partition of 4 gb
and 2 sub-partitions within my extended
i want to expand the locical into the extended, but it looks like i can't do
it that way. I'm guess i'm just going to have to remove all the partitions
and start from scratch
