if you don't want crappy partitioning software, either 1)buy software 2)and if you cannot afford to buy, DOWNLOAD (torrent) 3)...a good software is Partition Magic 4) like *pupic* said if you don't understand the basics of it, it might seem a bit confusing so just read up on it, or even better just try it out, its the best way to learn.. if it doesn't work the first time, at least you know what not to do the second time around. good luck -- chemicaluser |

ok, so find a program that does... good ones usually aren't freeware that is what i was trying to get accross ,,,google it.... partition commander pro... works with vista, same idea as partition magic and this is why linux is sooooo much better then windows will ever be. i think the only morons here are people like you who don't actually post a reply to the persons questions but rather on peoples comments. * * -- chemicaluser |

Partitioning a computers Hard disk
Hi, Justin.
No need to buy anything but Vista itself. Every version of Windows starting with Windows 2000 has included Disk Management. This replaced the old MS-DOS programs FDISK and Format - and several other older tools. As the name says, it manages all your hard disks - and other devices (such as optical drives, USB flash drives, network drives, and even digital cameras and card readers - anything that can be assigned a "drive" letter). There are several ways to start Disk Management. The simplest in Vista is just to press Start, then type "diskmgmt.msc" and press Enter. You'll need to furnish Administrator credentials because you will be working at a depth that can damage your computer if you are careless with it. Maximize the screen so that you are not working through a keyhole. (You'll have to do this each time you run Disk Management; I don't understand why MS hasn't fixed this through several versions of DM.) Invest some time in studying this screen and the Help file. Although the Help file is arranged as a reference, not as a tutorial (and covers the full Microsoft Management Console, not just the Disk Management snap-in), there is a ton of useful information about hard drives that you can use, not just for this project but for as long as you keep using computers - which may be the rest of your life. You can change the View, but by default, the top of the screen shows the Volume List and the bottom is a Graphical View of your disks and the partitions on each one. With this tool, you can create partitions, format them, delete them, shrink and expand them, assign drive letters, and other tasks. RC -- R. C.
