So. I'm trying to resize (enlarge) my windows partition (D: ), b/c I didn't make it large enough when I first installed Windows and now I'm about to run out of space! PartitionMagic gives me this warning of sorts:
"There is no active partition. Are you sure you want to apply changes?"
Yet, my other partition (C:, on the same physical disk as D: ) IS active, it says. I'm confused as to what I have to do to get that message to go away before I end up screwing over my entire setup.
I think PartitionMagic isn't liking the fact that I have Windows installed on anything other than the C:, so it's complaining.
But I'm worried--if I go through with the changes, is my boot drive gonna get screwed up?
Here are some links to pictures:

I also found this message on Symantec's site:
"In a configuration with mixed IDE and SCSI hard drives, Windows NT does not always see the boot drive as the first physical hard disk. PartitionMagic displays drives in the order Windows NT reports them. As a result, you may see your boot device as Drive 1, 2, and so forth. This does not cause problems for PartitionMagic except when setting a new active partition. Also, PartitionMagic may incorrectly report that there is no active partition on your system. To change your active partition, be sure that you identify which drive is the boot drive."
How would I identify which drive is the boot drive?
Thanks for any help you can give. :)
