PC froze during repartitioning—how to proceed?
I've been running a dual XP/7 system for the last several months with XP installed on the first partition and Win7 on the second of the same hard disk.
Since I rarely boot into XP anymore I wanted to take several GB's off of the XP partition and allot it to the Win7 partition. I know how to do this and made the changes using Partition Magic. Once I okay-ed the changes I rebooted and watched the DOS screen as the changes were going through. It got to 67% and halted. After 20 minutes it's still hasn't budged.
I'm starting to sweat.
I'm afraid to do a hard shutdown since the partitioning wasn't complete. What are my options? Am I screwed if I shut down and reboot?
