QTParted is a good utility. You can always download a bootable Linux distro that has this program. ie. Knoppix. You can get it here: http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html If you are looking for a smaller Distro, you can download Slax Live and the QTParted module here: http://slax.linux-live.org/ The QTParted Module is here: http://slax.linux-live.org/modules.php Kevin

Try spfdisk. It doubles up as partition manager and dual boot manager. It can partition the drive live (with data), but better make sure you have a backup, as always when partitioning. http://spfdisk.sourceforge.net/ It was made by a Taiwanese and is widely used in the Chinese speaking world, but is little known otherwise. The site is in Chinese. Just click on the English text ... Peter Pfister
