ranish does not, or did not last I used it, ntfs.
What's your goal here? I mean, i know that you want your other 75 gigs, but how do you want them?
If your content to have a five gig drive, and then a second 70ish gig drive (allowing for overhead), you can do this in DiskManagement.
Right click MY COMPUTER, choose MANAGE, wait a couple seconds, choose Disk Management. You will see your unallocated space...choose it and right click and create a partition, then format it. You will have two drives.
( do not mark the partition active, or your original partition will not boot).
If you want one big 80 gb drive, Windows cannot do that natively and you need a third party program (though you can in windows 2003 server)....
well, you could actually sort of do it, by either mounting the second disk as a folder in the first disk, or converting all your disks to dynamic disks and then creating a spanned volume....we're getting ahead of ourselves, though
