Partition Management

Any recommendations on partition management software?

I have read threads on various forums about partition management and looked up both XP and Vista information. I have no recovery drive on my Toshiba laptop which came with both XP Pro and Vista operating disks. I was thinking of making one. My Hewlett Packard laptop had to be restored right after I bought it and they sent me a Vista Home Premium disk. However, the system doubled the recovery drive behind the partition, now there is very little space on that drive. A full back-up was also added to that recovery drive. I have a couple of backup sets on disks as well. I have read the cautions about messing with the recovery drive, and have stayed away from it. The partition management software looks tempting.

 

Hi melm, this is an easy one

If you want to do it from within windows.

Use Easeus Partition Manager...

If you want to do what can only be called "a proper job" then get G-Parted

(unlike Easeus, which installs and runs like any other application, G-Parted has to be burned to CD and booted from, let me know if you need any help with this if you decide to go this way)

Thank you ~Q~.:wave

I will check into the G-Parted.
