I’m trying to install XTools and need more space on the partition to hold both OSX and XTools.

I do have an empty partition with plenty of space – is there a way to use that space without reformatting the whole drive?

TIA

Partition Magic will certainly do it. There are also other free programs I believe, do a search for "pricelessware" or go to alt.comp.freeware NG

AFIK, there is not a Mac version of Partition Magic…

Take a look at:-

Don’t think it works with NTFS though

Thanks David,

Your response is appreciated. I had actually mis-posted this, and gotten a response later in one of the Mactintosh groups, but once again thanks. —
