Recommended Partition Resizing software
So, I'm looking to resize the partitions on my main hard disk. I've done a bit of searching, but all the programs I've seen that claim to do this look kinda crap. Can anyone recommend one with confidence? Note that I'm essentially after the resizing aspect; I'm not looking to create new partitions or whatever.
Thanks in advance!  |

Is how I usually partition once in Windows XP I've also used fdisk and cfdisk for linux when partitioning with much success. You might want to check out Hiren's Boot cd as it has quite a few nice partitioning programs (as well as other wonderful programs) that you may find helpful. I've used Partition Magic Pro, Acronis Disk Director Suite, and Paragon Partition Manager from the boot cd all with success... |

So, I've got 3 partitions on my hard disk: C drive is "WINDOWSXP" (19.6GB); E drive is "GHOST" (19.5 GB); and F drive is "STORAGE" (72.6 GB). The problem is that I'm very low on space on my storage drive, which is what I use to store music and stuff (I have everything on an external hard drive also, but I'd still like more room on my storage partition). My E Drive has about 10 GB unused, and this will probably never be used. So in summary, I want to take some of the memory from my E drive (logical, FAT32) and add it to my F drive (logical, FAT32). The problem is that when I designate how much space I want to take from my E drive, the only option it gives me is to add that space to my C drive. I want to add it to my F drive but I'm getting the feeling that's not possible. (I'm not very computer-savvy, sorry) So will I have to, like, buy some more memory for my computer or something? Or can this be done? :P Scrap all that foolishness. I just figured out to do it. It seems I was choosing the partition I wanted to take memory from first. When I picked my F drive first and determined how much memory I wanted it to gain, I was set. I got a good 15 GB extra now, so that should keep me content for a while. =.=" Silly me. Thanks for the suggestions, by the way!
