Dave,

I just did exactly this today and everything worked great. I even ran
PartitionMagic from within Windows to see if it could really resize the
partition it was running in. It collected up all the settings and then
rebooted to DOS to actually resize the partition. I did a straight partition
resize (shrinking my single FAT partition and leaving the balance of the
disk unallocated), as opposed to letting PartitionMagic do the setup for a
second OS. This is a stupid question, you did resize from the back of the
partition/disk and not the front?
