Partitioning a Drive Without Erasing
« on: October 18, 2005, 03:39:00 pm »
I have a computer that has a 120GB HDD. Right now, it is filled with a single NTFS partition and has XP running on it. Is there any way I can add a partition without having to format the drive?

Partition Magic 8 or 9 can.

You just run it from the boot disks (which you can crate while the program is installing, or after) and you can do it from there.

Can also do it IN windows with PM8-9

pm8-9 = Partition Magic 8 & 9

So either way, whether you do it in Windows or from a boot disk you have to have that program if you want to repartition without losing data.

It also means poo monkey, but trust me when I say you don't want one of those trying to work on your computer. Some things I just have to learn the hard way.

Allways be carefull when partitioning/moving data. I was moving all my data from a 40 gig to an 80 and a buddy of mine triped over the power strip...Lost most of it.
