Problem solved.

I used google to search again for that error message I was getting when trying to resize my c: drive. After several pages explaining how to stop getting the error every time you boot, I found a comment that ‘xmnt2002′ is part of Partition Magic and that particular error means that you need to either re-install PM or copy that one file from the program CD.
After twenty minutes looking for the disk, I dug out the .ISO file made from that disk, then wasted an hour and two CD’s trying to burn a good copy.
The first disk (cdrw) developed a read error and windows decided it had a capacity of 0 mb and was not writable. The second disk (cdr) claimed it wrote okay, but Windows still said it had a capacity of 0 mb. Turns out that I had forgotten this ISO is a non-standard format and using the default settings in Nero doesn’t work with it.
After two hours messing with it today (to go with the several hours throughout this week and last) I now have 4.0Mb free on drive C: which means no more irritating little baloon saying “You are dangerously low on free space on drive c:” or whatever it was…
