Paritition of Windows Vista

[robin1983]

Dear all, how are you all? I need a help. I am new user of Windows Vista. I am using laptop (windows vista operating system). The problem is that my system has only one partition C drive. Now, I want to make another partition. To create the partition I try the partition magic 8 but unfortunately its not supported for vista OS. so please help me how to make partition without fomating the C Drive. Thanking you in advance for you kind coopeartion and supports.

Regards,

Robindra

I don't know any tool which certainly works with Vista, but you could always use Knoppix - it's a live Linux CD which contains a program called "Qtparted". This is similar to Partition Magic, but it's free and doesn't care about what OS you run normally.

You can just resize it with that. Note however that no such resizing software is perfect - there's always the risk of loosing data, so if possible you should save any important data before you attempt to do this.

Greetings,

y not use Shrink option of Vista itself? Just go to disk management, right click on C: (ur current parition, i believe), click Shrink. Enter value to shrink (in mb, that ll be the size of the new partition to create). it ll create unallocated space. Right click it n format it as NTFS or FAT32 or anythg u want.
