[RESOLVED] 2000 won't recognize XP partition

[Jpbtennisman]

I divided my HD into 2 partitions, one for Windows 2000 and the other for XP

apparently I made the XP partition a little too small so now I need to make it bigger

but when i boot into 2000 to do that with partition magic, it does not recognize the other partition XP is on which is formatted in NTFS

it does not recognize it in windows explorer, but recognizes some type of drive in PM6. however it can't do anything with the drive as it has no drive letter and has "too many errors"

Unfortunately PM6 and Windows XP have compatibility issues..so i can't do that..will a PM7 upgrade solve that?

what can i do about this? thank you..it can be easily resolved by deleting XP but I love XP

Upgrade to PM7. I have resized and converted my XP partition using PM7 so I can vouch that it definitely works.
