Does anybody know of a good free alternative to a program like Partition Magic? I want to resize my Win partition and create a second one.
Thanks

you betcha >>>>> BOOT IT NG (free 30 day trial)

does all that PM does and MORE and cheaper too !!

However: I will give you my standard warning : Never use partitioning modifying programs on hard drives unless to can stand for complete data loss. Once you may becoem familiar with these programs they work like a charm but their is plenty of room for a misinterpretation of what you are about to command such software to do.

BACK-up the data that will kill you to lose to another drive !!!!

enjoy >>>> print out the manual >>> its well written and easy to use

best regards
