OT: what is good tool for resize partition...

[GS]

what is a good tool for resize portion? NTFS, do, fat32,, nice to deal with
Linux/UNIX partition too.

also what is good inexpensive image tool that I can use live on Xp, windows
servers? that is I don't have to boot with CD to take the system partition
and pick up the boot sector for me to migrate to a different PC.

Symantec ghost solution 1.0 does allow image to DVD, hard drive, over LAN
and USB hard drive but is a hassle to create different boot floppies for
different scenario and no easy use of CD to boot.
ti is also troublesome if I image to hard drive and decide to move to
bootable DVD - that is not an easy task.

Don't mind booting with CD/DVD on new target PC though


Btw it should also works with P4, to dual or even quad core

thank you. looks great


Look at the site and the related info but I still have unanswered questions:
does it do hot imaging of the entire windows pc while windows is running?
what about drive size and type such as sata drive or raid?
does it work with DVD?
would you recommend using it on secure systems with sensitive info?
