Is it possible, withouth installing apps like Partition Magic, to make two partitions out of one, when the one is all ready in use by WinXP? In any way at all?

No. You can loose alot of data if you just use a standard partition tool like fdisk. Need something like PM to maintain file integrity.
Grrrrr...I can't belive this. They send me down to CERN, telling me to work on 3 different OSes, and then they give me a BRAND new PC install Win XP on it, and leave it with only ONE HDD, and only ONE partition. I can't belive it...

get an external harddrive, or even a 1gb thumbdrive
I don't think a 1Gb pen drive will fit 2 OSes and all my development tools, and 2 test servers. But I was actualy thinking about an external drive. But why not by a new HDD. Even if I can't belive I have to get this. I need to send some e-mails here...

well, if you really want to be dangerious, you could put a upgrade disk in then do a quick format, repartition the drive, then try a data recovery program to get all the data back. but like i said you have a real high chace of loosing ALL of your data
I can fit 2 OSs on a 700MB CD. Linux and DOS ;)
What three OSs are they expecting you to work with?
Why don't you want to use Partition Magic? Just curious :)
because it is owned by symantech(the 2ed most evil company in the world[microsoft is first most evil])Quote:

I sort of assumed someone over there would already have it... Sorry :(
Well, it looks like they have licensed everything from a-z except a partition app..and it freaks me out...
The big issue is Microsoft makes developers pay for NTFS support which is why I believe there are no free alternative to PM.
yes, there is not FREE alternative, but there are cheeper programs the PM. as i already showed NoteMe there are also hacked versions of different software
but hey, I dont pirate software, i just help crack them :rolleyes:
