Free Partition Manager?

[John Smith]

Can anyone recommend a free - and preferrably DOS based - partition
manager that will allow me to expand an existing NTFS partition? I
have unformatted space on my HD, and I would like to use that space to
increase an existing NTFS partition.


Thank you!

Not free, but has a 30 full functioning demo.

If you like DOS based programs you might like to look at BootIt NG.
However, it is not free:

If XP is installed within its own partition, use Manage/Disk Management. If
not, I recommend BING. Many of us have been using it for years.

If XP is not installed on the NTFS partition that you want to expand, use
Manage/Disk Management.

Apart from BootIt NG, the only other programs that will allow your to resize
a partition without formatting are;

Partition Magic - http://www.powerquest.com/

Acronis Disk Director Suite - http://www.acronis.com/

Free.
I think it will run in DOS (since it will boot from a floppy) and
Windows.

Never used it, so you'll be the first one on my block to tell us all
about it.

Time to update your link Rodger. Symantec acquired Powerquest last year.
