Resizing a partition

[Colonel C]

The topic is pretty self-explanatory. What program(s) do I use to resize a partition and/or how is it gone about? Any replies are greatly apprieciated.

Edit: Now I'm starting to think that this thread should be in technical support. Hmm...

Partition Magic is one that comes to mind.

Ok, thanks. Just wondering, do I have to reformat to resize a partition?

No you don't. And Partition Magic is a great tool for this job

Personally I prefer Acronis Disk Director. But PM will work just as well. If you don't have a problem reformatting when you change the size of your partition, then just reinstall and create your partitions the size you want them during Windows (or Linux) setup.
