eric,

Try this link, http://www.acronis.com/mag/winxp-pe/

It's for PartitionExpert 2003 SE or Personal Edition, it's an old link but still works. I think you have to fill out a registration form and they email you back.

Let me know if it works, I have posted it several times and never heard back.

Steve

 

thanks. yeah it still works, i registered and they sent me the number all via e-mail.

eric

 

OK, glad it still works. It will be interesting to see what all it includes, how limited it is.

Steve

 

haven't gotten the number yet. it takes a while i guess.

eric

 

ok downloading in now, its only a 2 week trial, but thats enough for me.

eric

 

Make sure. The magazine article I got the link from said you got the SE or Personal Edition free, just don't want you to miss anything.

Hope you get to keep it.

Steve

 

you have to buy it to be able to actually create the partition. know of any other ones?

eric

 

OK, sorry for the trouble. I know now not to post that link anymore. Thanks.

Steve

 

What brand HDD do you have?
Maxtor's, you can download Max Blast 3 from their web free.
Western Digital, you can download Data Lifeguard Tools from their web free.

Not sure if you can create additional partition and save the one you already have.
I know you can use too create what ever partitions you want, up to 4 primary, then reload windows & or fedora.

 

Well, I have two Maxtor drives and couldn't get Max Blast 3 to work with either of them. Tech support told me "Max Blast doesn't like Dells or HPs" -- so apparently it also matters what computer you have. (Although that alleged tech supporter sounded pretty cranky, and I suspect him of just not wanting to be bothered.)

 

yeah i have a dell and not a clue who makes my hdd. oh well i just wait till christmas and buy another hdd and then load fedorah on there. thanks guys.
