PM will, indeed, let you tinker with partitions
in ways that FDISK, et al. can't imagine.  I just
used an old copy of PM to grow a 2G FAT32 parition
(which was created from a 2G FAT16 partition) to
an 8G partition.  All without losing the contents of
that partition.

Unfortnately, the version of PM that I have won't
grow to anything *larger* than 8G  :-/

Backup partitions before dicking with them!  :>
