Hi!
My friend brought over his PC so I will move some free space from the linux partition into windows partiton. Is that possible without loosing any data? i want to try this out with partition magic but i'm afraid it might damage the Data or something else will happen.
I need an answer pretty fast cuz he's leaving the city for a very long time.

Im pretty sure it is dependant on your File System... EXT2/EXT3 will probably fuck up if resized, I googled and found that ReiserFS has some tools for resizing though.. I would be very cautious.

Yeah, i decided eventually that it will be better to just buy a new hard disk (very cheap these day), instead of risking the data, and having a huge headache if something happens.

Thanks for the help guys!
