basically i want to partition C-drive. currently its single partition of 80GB with OS+programs installed on it with 60GB free. i want to make another partition of 40+GB out of it without affecting the OS+installed programs. i’ve done this in the past but don’t know the name of the software i used. can you recommend a good but free software to partition the active HD and should i make it a **logical **or **extended **partition? i think extended should be ok but not sure. :-/ i’ll be using this partition to store data only.

Partition Magic allows you to shrink or resize existing partitions. You can create new partition in the remaining space that it freezes up.

I am sure Saieen knows where to look but lets just say no to software piracy.

Astagfirullah! I wasn’t suggesting he go pirating software
But then again…Sharing is Caring. Sadka Jairyaa…everytime he’ll use that HDD, he’ll remember the good soul that helped him achieve it.
