Partition util for NTFS 5

[IcemanJer]

Anyone know a free utility for copying and resizing NTFS 5 partitions?

Thanks in advance.

Partition magic is not free, but is the only software I know of that does it.

yeah.. I don't exactly have that $70 to shell out since I don't know how many times I'm gonna need it..

Not free, but if you really need it...

I was reading on the FreeBSD site in the download there's free utilities for resizing or busting partitions. I saw fat 16 and 32. MAYBE THEY OR ONE OF THE LINUX distro's has such an animal.

I clicked on this thread with high hopes but ended up breaking down and buying Partition Magic last night after supressing an uncontrollable urge to lob a harddrive across the room! I paid the $70. downloaded the installer and after spending about thirty minutes familiarizing myself with the software I ran the program and ten minutes later all my troubles were over. A chunck of change I wasn't aniticipating shelling out but it was worth it!

well I ended up ordering it from some place for $25, paid $10 for express shipping.
hopefully by wednesday my troubles will be gone. In the meantime I guess I'll just resort to sector-by-sector copying...
