"unmovable files" the green ones. If i resize the partition Im guessing they will be lost and operating system will not work? Any way to get these to the front half of the drive?? I want to resize the partition by about half, I have done it before w/ no errors. Any suggestions on if it will mess it up, or if it even matters when I resize and dual boot. My MBR got messed up and my hard drive lost all its info about a week ago, so I had to wipe everything. I'm guessing the evil Micro$oft people put the unmovable file at the end so peopel could re-size the partition easily. Anyway here is a pic. I heard these are paging files so I went in and took them off to see If i could re-size after wards. I need a re-start. After xp is on for a week it gets sloooowwww. I need my Linux.

Just use partition magic. It will move all of your files and that without any problem and will only take about 5 minutes to do.
