I bought an HP notebook with Windows XP Home Ed already installed.
The HDD is 30 GB; there's 1 primary partition, with one (logical?) drive
("C:").
I want to add a couple more logical partitions. To do that, I have to
create an extended partition. But the GUI interface for disk management
won't let me do it; nor will DISKPART via command line. I then read that
this process requires shrinking the primary partition first.
Most posts on the WWW and USENET say "go buy a copy of Partition Magic,
then..." I don't feel like shelling out money just to resize one partition.
Is there freeware out there that will do this?
TIA,
