   Free partitioning software?
  Hey, guys, can I get some recommendations and/or testimonials regarding some free hard drive partitioning software?  I've had the windows vista beta rom on my hdd for a month or two now and am (finally) itching to try it out, but I don't want to format as I have this laptop so configured/customized that it'd take me months to get back to where I am with usability.  Let the suggestions roll...   
  Use linux.No, seriously. Make a knoppix liveCD and use NTFS resize or whatever its called now. Its what I did, worked great.   ;Quote:Original post by AnonymousPosterChildUse linux.No, seriously.

Seriously, guys, all I'm looking for is options  No more?;  You could always just use fdisk or cfdisk.That, or use GNOME partition editor, which works like a liveCD for linux and loads on boot. Or, as previously suggested, insert a liveCD for some linux distribution, and it'll probably have a partition editor itself. There's also a program called "Partition Logic", but I never got it to work for me. I would personally recommend the gnome partition editor. It is a graphical interface, its really easy and quick and I've never had problems with it. My choice. Here: http://gparted.sourceforge .net/livecd.phpEDIT: I forget how to do links...   ;  Use the BootIt NG Trial. There's no Limitations that I know of. I've used it to create and resize partitions many times. Get it here. ;  I use gnome partition editor (It is GUI for parted). Linux partitioning tools has to be extremely reliable because first installation of linux almost always requirs resizing of windows partition, and if something would go wrong linux would be to blame.There is some special liveCDs out there which include a lot of utilities, i don't have link rignt now though.BTW, i also have boot floppy with all tools (command-line).   ;GParted Link
