Sorry, the registration link still works but they have moved the download link so if you want it you will have to try google :(

Maybe you should backup your files to an external hard drive or something else before you use that sofrware? It never hurts to select click and drag ^_^

you can manually adjust the partition if you have 100GB unused/unpartitioned space on hard drive after ur 2 GB windows parttition (Fat32/NTFS)
use ranish's PART.exe

1. copy part.exe on a CD (not USB)
2. Boot ur machine using a dos6.22 / win98 Boot CD
3. run part.exe to see ur HDD partition tables.
4. Change the values carefully to make ur desire size of partition.(if u did wrong it will warn you. dont touch starting side of figures, change only ending side figures.
if u touch starting side ur system will not boot.
5. start win xp and run scandisk

done...


you have to boot from CD (
