Free Windows Partition Manager?

I can't find a good one that's free

I found a few free ones, but they seem to not do what I need. Does anyone know of a good free one?

I've used ones off Linux live CD's in a pinch. Check out http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/ntfsresize.html (the list is down toward the bottom). There should even be some on little mini-distros.

Thanks Nakor, I'll try it. Do you mean NTFS resize, or one of the linux links, and if so, which one did you use? Wonder why Google missed this..

I guess you'll know if I reply withing a few days with all of my data...

I am actually doing this so I can install Fedora Linux.

NTFS resize via the Linux partition managers, yes. Google missed it because of the question. The Google Oracle can be useful, but it really does need the right question.

does it work in Windows

My guess is no. You'll probably have to boot from a CD and then use it from the CD. Most Windows partition managers don't really "work in Windows" but some will let you queue up a series of changes to be made that it will execute the next time the system is rebooted. Hope you find what you need!!

Thanks.

By the screens it looks far less confusing than the competition!

So when I resize it creates new partition?

Here goes. I hope it creates new partition after resize.

Not without knowing what you're using. Search google for related things like resize partitions under linux.
