Hi All

Just wanted to know if it is possible to dynamically resize partions. I have a dual boot system and would like to reduce my windows partions to free up more space for my linux partition. Is there some tool for doing this? Is there any good online documentation for this kind of thing?

Regards, Ben

commercial - partition magic

free - parted

Last time I used parted however, it wasn't a good experience, so use at your own risk ;)

I've used FIPS before. It's free and seemed to work well both times I've used it. It's windows software and comes w/ pretty good documentation.

Oops, here's the
