i partitioned my disk with fdisk in 2 drives. I 'd like to know if fdisk can make more partitions of the same existing ones without deleting any logical drives or reformating the hard drive.

For example i divided my 80gb to two 40gb drives. Now i would like to repartition it again to 40gb 20gb and another 20gb


is it possible?

Fdisk will not do what you want without destroying your data. Partition magig will as long as you meet required availible space etc. Fdisk is great for a new partition but after that stay away if you want to keep your data.

yes but the demo they have for download does not do anything . It just shows you what the software can do when you buy it.


I will get partition magic this week from a friend

I just installed 2 80 gb WD hard drives and partitioned both using FDISK. Go to the "Partitioning Statagies" website, http://partition.radified.com/ and read up un his advice, it's very good. I partitioned my 1st drive with 3 partitions, 10gb (boot), 35gb & 35gb - my second drive has 2 40 gb partitions.

FDISK is easy to use once you understand the lingo.

Good luck!
