I have a 74gig raptor with 2 partitions. The first partition is about 50 gigs, and it is ntfs with windows. The second partition is about 15 gigs and it has Leo on it. I want to increase the leo partition size, but partition magic says the drive table is BAD, so I can't shrink the ntfs partition to leave unpartitioned space for leo. How can I shrink the windows partition to make room for a larger leopard partition?
Thanks!

Try Acronis Disk Director.

Ok I used Acronis Disk Director and I was able to shrink the windows partition down to 37.92GB. So now I have that partition, 15.33GB of unallocated space, and then the leopard partition, which Disk Director calls a 0xAF (ShagOS swap) partition-- not sure what that means.
I tried resizing the 0xAF partition with disk director but it won't let me increase or decrease the partition size, it will only let me move the partition. I tried using leopard's disk utility to increase the size of the partition, but that didn't work either. I tried iPartition, but that says the partition table isn't an apple partition table so it can't read it. Should I let iPartition change the partition table, or could that screw up something?
