Assuming I have removed all the other partitions on the hard disk, is
there any way to safely increase the size of the primary C: partition
without losing any data?  Are there any reliable utilities that will
do this?

In case it matters, I'm using a Maxtor Panther P0-12S 1.2GB SCSI hard
disk and a DTC 3290HD SCSI EISA controller.  I have a primary
partition of 200MB and an 800MB extended partition (DOS 5.0 format).
I'd like to expand the primary to at least 400MB.

Thanks!

Paul
