Hi All,
which is the best tool for partitioning, as I forgot to bring in my copy of PartitionMagic(DOH!!) and need to resize an NTFS partition today. I'm using XP Pro at the moment. I wish to resize a 38GB partition, primary, to 20GB and use the rest for a Linux Install(CentOS 4-3). Cheers.
Mark Sargent.
P.S. I can't use my normal account whilst at work, so subscribed from my work account. Is that breaking any list rule, and if so, what's the work around?

ntfs resize can do this http://man.linux-ntfs.org/ntfsresize.8.html It is available on Knoppix and probably many other live Linux cds. You might find ntfsclone useful too for bare metal ntfs backups.
