You can't unless you use a third party utility like Partition Magic.

Or you could take a look at a piece of software called VMWare

HHxx - what do you think of VM ware...I like it, escpecially the new XP version. It's much quicker than the older versions. I like the network options as well, NAT, host only etc

Hi Shunty,
I haven't tried the new version yet. But I use if to run legacy software which only likes 9x type os. I also have a linux install running, so I can play about without breaking a production server

Sweet, cheers guys - will look into Partition Magic.

Doubt VMWare would be up to it as she wants to use it for some hardcore brain scan image analysis work

Ta Shunty, I'll download the latest version and see how far I get I'll let you know

jlanng, another option is another hd. Depending on how your ide channels are set up etc... you can do a fresh plain install on the other hd without messing W2k up.
