    Hi I have an 80GB hard disk that is made into only one primary partition (NTFS). now I want to create a secondry partition and sub-devide this logical partition into 3 logical partitions as I can make using FDesk under DOS. but I want to do this using windows (or a 3rd party tool running on windows) and if possible without restarting.. Any suggestions ?

      If you don't mind losing the data currently on the partition, you can repartition a disk using the Disk Management component of Computer Management (in Administrative Tools). However, I think you're saying that you want to repartition your only hard disk. For that you'll need something like PartitionMagic[^]. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

          You cannot change the size of your system partition while Windows is running. You will have to restart. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
