Resizing partision

KoolDrew · Nov 28, 2004

Does anyone know any free software that can resize partisions?

Depends heavily on the filesystem.

Good luck then, MS doesn't exactly give away the NTFS docs for free.

I am not 100% sure, but take a look at Bart?s UBCD, it might have a free program.

You mean this?: http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/parted.html

Take a look at the supported filesystem table.

You're right. I assumed because qtparted would do it, parted would as well. However, qtparted uses ntfsresize.

Patition Magic does the trick, not free however though.

I've used QTParted 4 times, and Partition Magic 3 times, and lost data once with each.
