 |
|
I've dual-booted Gentoo (and other distros) with XP before but do not have access to partition magic anymore, which I've *always* used to do this before.
Is there a good *free* tool to partition a drive that already has XP on it? Can't do floppy, don't have one...and I don't care if it's a CLI tool, Windows tool, whatever...anything that'll allow me to create new partitions from an already-formatted NTFS drive.
Thanks! |

Parted & QTParted don't run on Windows...and I'm unclear as to whether ntfsresize (or the other ntfs tools) do either. I'm unable to find an actual download on that site...the link to the FAQ is dead...and I don't see any other links for downloading?
Is there a free windows tool available to do this? Or, can I load any of the tools you mentioned on a cd and boot it somehow? Is ntfsresize (by any chance) on the gentoo minimal disk?
Thanks again!

parted can't resize ntfs, but ntfsresize support is integrated into qtparted.
You can use KNOPPIX. |
