![]() Thus do you both agree that all I need is the free bootable CD, that you kindly provided the link for ? I only do such tasks from a bootable CD (never when Windows is running). Tried this on my archive vista machine and it does not see the 529G Ext2 partition that vista reads and writes happily with the help of an open source IFS package, so this still needs more work to make it FULLY Ext2 compatible, a hint to the developer x86 Linux from several years ago is not the only implimentation of Ext2 filesystem it can and does come in many shapes and block sizes Save | Cancel Tried this on my archive vista machine and it does not see the 529G Ext2 partition that vista reads and writes happily with the help of an open source IFS package, so this still needs more work to make it FULLY Ext2 compatible, a hint to the developer x86 Linux from several years ago is not the only implimentation of Ext2 filesystem it can and does come in many shapes and block sizes I have used this technique to move several folders from the C:\ System drive to other partions on other media including Documents and Settings i386 folders instaled packages folders Program files folders etc enabled me to fit a relatively complete XP SP3 onto a 4G ASUS eeePC 701 by moving those annoyng bulky folders off to a NTFS formated muti partitioned 16G SD card. then in Computer Managment Disk Managment tool in addition to the drive letter already assigned to the new partition assign it to the newly created blank folder C:\ProgsĪt that point you can simply boot into any LiveCD or winPE based offline OS and rename C:\Progranm Files to something else and C:\Progs to C:\Program Files and when you next boot the host windows it will see and use the moved program files contents from the new partition and by keeping the original drive letter assigned to the partition, windows is able to maintain the Recycle Bin for that partition properly. Then Create a new empty folder in root of C:\ drive called anything you like that works. ![]() #19, Troop: for programs that won't install to anny other location than C:\Program Files is simplish with NTFS! Create your dedicated partition for program files and copy over the entire c:\Program Files folder contents to the root of the new partition.
