    hard drive partition utility

    I'm seeking a hard drive partitioning utility that'll allow me to create/remove partitons created under Windows and/or Linux. I know that Partition Magic will work but a friend told me that there's a Linux-based utility that'll fit on a floppy & works rather well.

    I would be really interested in finding a utility to repartition linux based partitions but I don't think there is one. As for resizing windows based partitions there MIGHT be something to resize fat based filesystems but the ntfs support is still a bit flakey and hasn't been really implemented until kernel 2.6 which was only released a couple of months ago. Best bet is partition magic. *whispers* but if you do find these tools post back and let me know cause I'd be interested in them too

    Not sure if it will resize Linux partitions but
    Ranish Partition Manager may work
