Yeah, try out this BootitNG, which looks pretty good, or burn a copy of Knoppix and you'll have disk related utilities such as: ntfsresize (as already mentioned - I think the fact that it's on Knoppix is a vote of confidence for this program) qtparted (graphical parted - no console version for some reason) partimage and partimaged - partition imaging client and server install-mbr sfdisk cfdisk Logical Volume Manager tools etc. etc.

I own Partition Magic 7 but hardly use it anymore. Only supports ext2 and I'm not spending $50 US to ugrade to PQM 8 to get ext3 but not ReiserFS support. Also, some people report problems with Linux partitions made by PQM.

I haven't seen any, but there may be. I don't create partitions with partition magic. Using tune2fs to change ext3 to ext2 before resizing and back is not that big a deal. But if a free tool will do it too, then that is even better. Lennart Sorensen -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
