Partition software

[Vicky and Tony]

I want to create a partition on my harddrive, but don't want to reformat or
reinstall windows. There is a package called Partition Magic that does the
job, but being a tight git I don't want to pay Ł60 for it. Does anyone
know of a freeware utility that will do the same job ??

Thanks

Tony

Sure Theres a program called fips that will resize partitions. Here
is a tutorial on it

http://www.gnulinux.com/dual/fips.shtml

You should be able to find fips anywhere. It usually used with a Linux
install in the dosutils folder.

Windows may spit the dummy after you use fips as the partition will have
changed size. Don't worry just shut down and restart and all should be well.

I have to comment...a tight girl? cool.

sorry, I know a site to get partition magic 6.0 for free, but I don't want
to promote warez here anymore...for fear of hatred by most users of this
group.

Tony,

feature; however, if you need this capability, Change of Address (COA32)

John,

Your information is inaccurate. Check the following quote from DriveImage
4.0 by PowerQuest, concerning partition management.

"Partition Types

There are three kinds of partitions: primary, extended, and logical.
Primary and extended
partitions are the main disk divisions; one hard disk may contain up to
four primary
partitions, or three primary partitions and one extended partition. The
extended partition
can then be further divided into any number of logical partitions."

Partition Magic can set up any number of logical partitions you wish.
