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? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Cheers.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.
