    Hi,

    XP Home SP2 all updates / Windows 7 beta
    AVG
    2.4Ghz
    2Gb RAM
    128Mb video card
    2 Sata hdd


    Ok my question is the following, I recently put Windows 7 beta on this machine to try it out but ended up allocating way too much free space to that one partition. 100GB and only 10GB are being used. I would like to take 60 or 70 GB of that free space from that partition and move it to one of my other partitions.

    Whats the best way to do this? Partition magic? Will it only move free space? Pros/Cons/Feedback/Questions?

    Thanks!

    Yes - I used that facility to install Win 7 on my Vista box in dual boot config.
