Resizing Partitions

Post by TheUnbeliever »

Are there any free tools (or try before you buy) that will let me resize an NTFS partition? I can easily get a hold of a (legal) copy of PartitionMagic, but if there is a free way, I'd try that first. I'd quite like to setup SELinux on a Fedora Core 3 system, but the system I'm building I really don't have much time for, if I could just resize my partition on my second drive (I have two drives, C: and F:, both single partitions - one 40GB (-decimal to binary conversion, -the rest of the stuff that you lose on format) and one 120GB (ditto previous))... it'd certainly be useful. I love linux, but can't afford to replace my main system with it, but dual booting would be good.

Plus I want to dual boot with the Longhorn Beta when TechNet gets it... :P

SystemRescueCd has QtParted on it, which can be used to resize NTFS partitions.

Thanks, as it happens I'm going to grab a copy of PartitionMagic before I go home, but that's a nice package, I'll add it to my little toolkit that I take with me whenever I go somewhere else with a computer.
