Partition manager ??????

[Guest]

I have Windows XP on a 160gb NTFS drive all to itself... I want to split the
drive into 2 80gb partitions but i do not want to lose my xp installation....
I dont really mind if XP is lost because i can restore a backup later but
is there a free partition manager i could use as this is only a once off
scenario and i dont want to buy partition magic or other software like that
etc.

Thanks in advance...

This is able to shrink, but it has some limitations, so if it doesn't do
anything on the first attempt, try entering a bigger size for the original
partition until it works.

Partition Logic is another good one.

I had the same problem when I tried it. I then ran chkdsk /f from the
command line and I had several disc errors. Once I cleaned those up, it ran
just fine.
