I want to change the partition on my notebook without having to format/install (works perfectly at the moment) and this is a one time deal so I'm not in the mood to shell out $70 for a program I'll most likely use once (never had a need before, can't think of any in the future...)
So is there a program that will partition a XP Home (NTFS) the way Partition Magic does that is free or a lot cheaper than $70? TIA
Ranish Have fun!
How about the evaluation copy of Partition Magic?
Assuming it's for personal use, it's free for a time-limitted period.
IMHO this 'freebie' is better than the commercial equivalent ... it knows about 'alligning cyclinder boundaries with partition boundaries' anyway, which is more than PM does !!! ;)Quote:

PartitionMagic's free trial will not let you modify the HDD, just see what you can do...Quote:

I have Perfect Disk 5.0 and I wanted to upgrade to Perfect Disk 6.0, which was free if you bought PartitionMagic... It cost a little more for Perfect Disk but I didn't want so much a freebie as I did not want to spend so much for a program I figure I wouldn't use much.Quote:
