I think the latest version (8.0) is around £20.00.<BR /><BR />However, it is advisable that you back-up you software before using it and carry out a defrag (at least twice) before adjusting the partition sizes on the fly!<BR /><BR />I have used it before without any problems, it's much quicker than a complete re-install!<BR /><BR />CW<BR /><BR />PS If you are editing video (Adobe Premire or Click to DVD) be aware that the video files are saved by default to the <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":anguished_face:">😧</span> partition, so it is advisable to keep it as unclutterd as possible.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 10 Nov 2004 16:42:25 GMT https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/two-drives/m-p/129067#M121641 Woody27 2004-11-10T16:42:25Z
