Hi there,

Which software i should use if i want to re-arrange my HDD partition diskspace without having any data loss in the process?

I mean like i want to transfer another 20% of my C to my D

Any software such as Partition Magic can do it.

make sure u know wat u r doing and always do a backup before u proceed

yeaps. my favourite software till today.... and yes make very sure that you back up ur files before doing so.

partition magic currently doesn't support vista FYI

oh... means, either in C or D, all data i must backup ..

This is the dilemma with partitioning software like Partition Magic. If you backed up your data in C and D, might as well nuke the whole hard disc drive and repartition it back to the configuration that you want. If I was you, I will just ghost both C and D with software like Acronis True Image, repartition the hard disk and then restore the ghost image.

Acronis Disk Director Suite support vista. Pretty good as Norton (errr PowerQuest) partition magic.

I prefer ADDS now. PM outdated already

So, if i use software like Norton Ghost or those that you mentioned, then it could be necessary to do it without doing any backup first?




ADD is for usage of like partition magic or Ghost?

What I say is that if you are able to backup the whole C and D partitions, it is faster to use software like Acronis True Image to do backup, then use utilities like fdisk to repartition your C and D partitions, and then restore the data again with Acronis True Image.

ADD = Partition Magic
Acronis DiskImage = GHost

Best to have both kind of software, total control of our hdd.

xp = partition manager 8.0
vista = partition manager 9

The data won't get deleted, if you have 20gb of space,
back up is just a precaution
