I am just wondering what is the best (preferably free) tool to re-partition the HD without wiping out windows.
my problem: hp pavilion n5170 notebook win me installed no win install CD only repair cd that can reinstall win using norton ghost (which includes partitioning HD to factory default - hibernation partition and the rest of the disk is win partition) I also have win 98 but that one cannot be installed (dies during fdisk phase). so much for how win support lot of hw and how easy it is to install so I am stuck in situation where I have to install win me over whole hd and later on I would like to re-partition the drive without loosing win (it's my wide's notebook and they might give them some stuff at university that requires win). what is the best tool? partition magick? I am kinda reluctant to shell out $40 (or whatever it costs) for a one time (probably) use... is there any free alternative. yes, I plan to install debian there, which makes this at least slightly on topic. tia erik
