   Neil, I´ve only used Partition Magic to re-size my partitions. When it    
   actually does the re-sizing, it moves the files around with-in the    
   partition to free up space so it can be allocated to the other partition.   
      
   As for question three, don´t know...pass!   
      
   HTH
