Partition Help

I was wondering if it was possible to create a new partition(For Longhorn or Linux) without erasing all the data on the HDD (As i have just reinstalled XP). Also if it is possible would PartitionMagic or FDISK be the best program to use.
Thanks

yes parition magic is the best software i have used to create paritions on a drive with informaiton already on it.

Easy to use too

If you are wanting to try out linux, there is a verison you can run from cd so you dont even need to parition.

Its called Knoppix
