  • Anyone know of good partition software thats cheap or free?  Partition Magic 8.0 is like 50 bucks at stores...

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>My 4 year old HD finally crapped out the other day so i bought an 80 gig one for 70 bucks at MicroCenter. I originally partitioned 5 gigs for win2000pro and the rest for programs, but i am realizing that 5 gigs probably wasnt enough because even though i am installing the programs on a totally different partition the 5 gig one still accumulates somehow and now it is 3/5 full... Windows doesnt have the tools to give the 5 gig partition more space from the rest of the HD without having to format everything, which i dont want to do. I know packages like PM8.0 can help me but 50 bucks? I dont think so.</div>
