Re: Partition Magic software?

[Lew Jansen <lrj2@cornell.edu>]

  Partition Magic is also available from other vendors; though I'm drawing a
blank right now trying to remember where I bought it from.

  It works very well, within certain restrictions.  The one thing it can't
do is expand or shrink a partition beyond a cluster-size boundary.  (e.g.
you can't make a 300M partition a 100M partition and vice versa)  You can
slide partitions around though, so that you can shave some space off of one
partition and give it to another one.
