    Hammer, tbh.

    Otherwise, Partition Magic - and read the help files with it. Then, re-read them. And once more... Then backup your data before screaming at yourself and the machine.

    I would advise using something other than Partition Tragic. :)

    I usually do it before I re-install windows. With the windows CD.

    I re-install windows every few months so if there needs to be changes they are
    put on the waiting list.

    BiNG or Boot-It Next Generation every time.

    Then:-
    Backup
    Resize existing partition
    Add partition(s)

    Partition Majoc worked a treat for me, on a number of occasions.

    Nothing wrong with Partition Magic - apart from its price! ;)

    Partition Magic works very well....99% of the time.
    As said before...backup before using. I didn't once and spent several hours banging my head against the desk. I'm still rebuilding my music collection 6 months later :mad:

    fdisk all the way baby :D . But like was said, I'd only ever partition during a fresh install, and usually the OS being installed allows you to partition during setup. Otherwise I leave it as it is until another fresh install.

    Why may I ask are you looking to partition your drive?
