Perhaps some of you know this but I didn't. I use Acronis 11 and last night I was experimenting with the Safe Zone feature. Opened a partition with 20GB and went about my experiment. "Things" worked as Acronis said it would BUT when I was going to delete it, and return my system to it's beginning point prior to trying the Safe Zone, I was offered the choice of deleting it OR increase one of my existing partitions with the 20GB. I have been wanting to do that to my Primary partition because I have long wanted more space in the Primary partition but did not want to format my hard drive; etc. I accepted the invite to increase the partition of my choice and so I chose my Primary partition. IT WORKED!!! I haven't seen any differences in my computer's activity and so I am very happy. Just thought you might like to know of my positive experiment results.

I use Acronis Disk Director to do tasks like that.

John, I am sure your needs of computer use are far greater than mine but I was only sharing a discovery. And I did it with the use of just one program; not two.
And for those who want/need Acronis 11 and Disk Director, go here for a real sweet deal: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...L6C-_-32200006 $25 including shipping.

That is a good deal on those two!
