I finally finished copying all the partitions over to the 74 gig Raptor and everything is as it was on the 36 gig raptor.

Now to see if I can resize and merge the partitions.

I'll keep you all posted.

3) Boot to Windows; it will do check disk automatically
4) Using gParted, resize E partition to fill the empty space between itself and partition F
5) Boot to Windows; it will do check disk automatically
6) Using Windows, copy all data from C and F into E
7) Boot to Windows; it will do check disk automatically
8) Using gParted, delete partitions C and F
9) Boot to Windows; it will do check disk automatically
10) Using gParted, resize partition E to fill the entire volume
11) Boot to Windows; it will do check disk automatically

I think you would be better served scrubbing it and starting fresh however.

So far this Parted Magic is the bomb baby... seriously you guys gotta check it out... Linux based GParted w network support and all kinds of stuff that I have not had enough time to check out yet.

Oh and blitz I tried to Rep+ you earlier if it did not go through well then there will be another one coming here pretty quick. Now I'm happy. I have been wanting to do this for so long now and I'm finally doing it for free. Well I wont count all my chickens till they hatch but I can say this I think I'm more then half way home...

Now I will be able to update to SP
and re-load and play my games where I left off.

Just gotta get out of this firefox now and reboot so that I can see if the moving F Patition to the end of the drive worked before I resize the E drive.

Be back in a few to give an update...

Honestly, I've ran my 8800GT on a single core Venice 3500+ before and it played my games just fine. I personally wouldn't invest TOO much money into a GPU, however anything 8800GT and below should be fine.

Keep in mind, your graphics card can always follow you to a new build later down the road as well

Thlnk3r: Good call on the software, IMGREP. The coolest feature is that it is HAL independent, meaning I should be able to make an image of one of my computers and use it on either. Despite my Desktop being an AMD Quad core and my laptop being an Intel Dual core, their hard drives have nearly identical sets of data. Well, aside of the laptop missing some programs due to space requirements. Unless I get a 320 GB hard drive for the laptop, that is the way it is going to stay.

TheSubtleKnife: I will add you to the off-site roster later today most likely.
