Hey All;
Has anyone found any "Power Toy's" for Vista - like they had for XP? Does anyone have experience using Patition Manager 8 with Vista? Thanks! |

I used Partition magic to create a partition for Vista, and it worked well
(only a few errors that had to be fixed by scandisk). I have never used it with an active Vista partition. Ben wrote in message oups.com... Hey All; Has anyone found any "Power Toy's" for Vista - like they had for XP? Does anyone have experience using Patition Manager 8 with Vista? Thanks! |

Thanks, I'll steer clear of PM 8. IS their another partitioning tool that can be used with Vista yet? Vista can resize its own partitions actually! Just use Disk Manager. -Pål |

I have seen several reports that Disk Manager can resize its partions but I
am unable to figure out how. My case is 2 drives in a raid 0 . Disk manager reports three partions on this 'drive'. 1) 55MB, Healty (EISA configuration) ..I think this is holding BIOS extended diagnostics.... 2) Unallocated 10 GB 3) 455.60 GB NTFS Healthy(System, Boot, Page File, Active, Crashdump, Primary partion) Obviously I am not in desperate need of that additional 10 GB but it annoys me that I can't get it combined with the big partion. I understand that PM can handle the merging of such partions but the increase doesn't seem worth (heaven forbid) actuall paying to do so. Is there some secret method to get them combined?
