I have looked at loads of partition software but they all want me to pay for it and I don't see the point as I will only be using it once! Does anyone know of any partion software that will resize my XP partition for free! Cheers John _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Yes, BootIt NG is excellent - 30-day free trial. http://www.terabyteunlimited.com There are free partition utilities such as Ranish Partition Manager, but I found them poorly documented and easy to screw up. There are also FIPS and PResizer, free tools offered at FreeBSD FTP sites. I haven't used these (I needed a boot manager that easily grokked RAID as well as a partition tool, thus BootIt NG), but perhaps someone else can comment on them.
