I need to partition my laptop's HD, but when I defrag w/ Norton or Diskkeeper it shows that I have many "unmovable" system files scattered all over the HD, right up to the end. I'm afraid if I try to partition it, these files may be lost and damage to OS (WinXP).
I have Norton Ghost and I thought I might ghost it to CDs. Then I could wipe the drive, partition it, and reinstall. Is that possible?

You should be able to do that. The "unmovable files" will just be put back in the correct locoation on the new partition. (And if the size is different, it will move he files to where they need to be on the new partition size.
But ignoring the "unmoveable files" issue, you would want to Ghost your hard drive before partitioning it anyways, because when you partition it you will wipe out everything on the drive. So you will need a Ghost image (or a legal Windows XP CD and serial number) to reinstall everything.

I provide this 10 hugs! ma wrote one the different day that spoke to me on an intuitive factor. Deep as if linked I felt her poem. i understand this poem and need i ought to have arise with the equipment you used to furnish it- i love the way you chosen the dictionary, calendar, properly meaning and destiny wish. i truly do not imagine some human beings will ever experience the top of deeper expertise. This leaves me with remembering the grief that i'm fairly on my own because no longer something and no you'll at cases make it extra ideal. My spirituality is the purely porthole or perhaps then because i'm no longer proper, I doubt. i understand i have "lengthy gone off" from the position this lead yet lol it is me. BTW- Love the spectacular line so very a lot.
