I want to partition my drive without having to reinstall my WinME operating system. A lossless partition.
I have used FIPS but from a 9.08G drive, with Windows taking up 4.99G it only offers a maximum of 120MB. I defragmented my drive and everything!
Is there another program that is more effective or another strategy to make the new partition bigger?:confused:
If you had Partition magic,you wouldnt have asked this question.
okay but do you know how to resize your partitions using FDISK?first resize your logical partition(if you are installing linux in another partition) and free up some space for it.
i"ll attatch the *pdf of partitionmagic help that will surely be of great help.
thanks.
bye!

I have just under a 10gb hard drive on this system, the way I'm utilising the space is about 2 gb for a Windows System drive, 1 Gb for a Conventional memory Drive and the rest for my storage.
If I load a new program I don't load it to C:\program files but to my main storage under a different folder name.
The reason for this is it keeps it just system files (and other microsloth related files) to that one drive.
My conventional memory drive is large enough (In truth you could probably get away with about 600 Mb)
The reason for spliting my drive into three was to speed up Defraging the drive when needed, and to lessen the chances that a block error would lock out access to my system from command line.
(Your best keeping partitions no larger than 5 gb just for the defrag. As you can leave a storage partition for a while and just defrag the systems partition )
