Hard Disk Partitioning
You missed the key word in the poster's request: FREE. PartitionMagic costs
money. Sorry, I personally don't know of a free disk partitioner and probably wouldn't use one considering how critical is this component to the operation of your operating system. Doesn't Windows XP have one? Windows 2000 did (although I didn't like it and I had special needs that mandated using PartitionMagic). -- __________________________________________________ _____ ** Share with others.
