Disk Partition tool - Tech Support Forums

DoctorReno · May 9th, 2003, 01:06 PM

I want to create a small partition on an already formatted drive. I know Partition Magic essentially rules for doing this but does anyone know of a simple freeware or shareware program to create a new partition. Fat32 on this particular system.
Thanks

If your using W2K or XP, it has a "disk management" tool installed already.

Yeah but it can't resize partitions. I know Mandrake 9.1 can resize/create/delete partitions. Is it possible to separate the disk management too and put it on a CD?

It'd have to be a bootable CD, so ya mighjt as well use a CD distro like VirtualLinux. Dunno if the latest version has NTFS resizing like Drake, but it'd be worth checking out.

I have used Ranish before...it is a little complicated, but can be figured out with a little reading.
