Luke;464956 Wrote: Hi does anyone know where I can get some partition software that isn't a trial that lets me actually partition my hard drive? luke Hi Luke, You can do this from your Vista installation DVD. Just do a "Custom (advanced)" install and click "Drive options (advanced)". The "Create" option will create a new partition and allow you to adjust it's size.

Hi, Luke.
Every Windows since Windows 2000 has included Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc), which can do almost any partitioning job that you need. Windows XP added more functions to DM and Vista added even more. Of course, this doesn't do you much good if you are trying to partition the system or boot drive you are running at the moment. But if you are dual-booting or using multiple physical drives, be sure to look at what you already have before deciding to purchase something. RC -- R. C.
