Is there any alternative to Partition Magic?

[Soybean]

Hi,

I want a partitioning program that is as easy to use and is as useful as Partition Magic, but I don't want to pay money for it. Is there any freeware program that does exactly what Partition Magic does? That is, is there any freeware program that will allow me to partition my hard drive without formatting it?

Thanks!

FIPS would do it, but it doesn't have the pretty interface that Partition Magic does. I'm not sure where the official homepage for the program is, but you can get it off of a RedHat mirror in the dosutils directory. Should just be called fips.exe and maybe have a text file that goes along with it.

parted will do some of the same things also, but AFAIK is only a *nix tool
