    Partition Magic, too expensive, any other software out there???

    I'm looking to dual boot my laptop with RH/XP Pro. I was going to use partition magic to partition the hardrive into ext3 and NTFS.(this is what I should do right?). Well anywayz partition magic is a little too pricey for my wallet. Is there any other programs out there that do the similar task? If all else fails, I can use fdisk.

    Thanks

    Oh and if you guys have any tips or things to watch out for with my current project, let me know, I would appreciate it.

    RH's disk druid does a nice job on partitioning. ... And there are thousands of opinions on how to partition it. I think in another thread I had put a link to the RH manual, which has nice suggestions on how to partition (visit Red Hat's site and look at documentation -- they talk about how to partition).

    Otherwise, you might find a free tool here: http://download.com.com/3120-20-0.ht...search=+Go%21+

    Bootit is great, it fits on a bootdisk, and it will delete, create, or RESIZE all types of partitions. including fat32, ntfs, unix and linux partitions as well as a few diagnostic tools.. it asks you to install it on the hard drive everytime you boot it, but you dont have to, and if you do, it is shareware, and i think it expires.. I just keep a bootdisk of it and use it whenever i need it, without installing it.. just extract the zip file to a folder and run "bootitng.exe" with a floppy in the drive to make a boot disk, then boot using that.

    I was going to ask the same question as fusion, and I was going to use Ranish. But i've realised this does NOT work with XP (NTFS Partitions) so i'll give Bootit a try

    freeware

    C’mmon guys, lets not break the copyright law. This is a security site. If Partition magic is expensive, we always have nice people who give us the freeware.

    Well the following site offers a freeware that does the job. It is a boot master and it also comes with free partitioning tool.
