One other idea besides the Kill Disk utility for deleting a partition off of a drive as well as creating new one even custom sized is a Linux partitioning tool known as the Gnome Partition Editor or more commonly known as GParted. Here's a brief description of the free Linux utility.

Partitioning Bliss with GParted

Do you fancy keeping those MP3s into their own partition? Want to copy data residing in one disk onto another? Crave for an easier way to mirror partitions? Long for a simple solution to reorganize your disk and create space for a new Linux distribution? Look no further, GParted (http://gparted.sourceforge.net) will do all this and much more. And did I mention, all this, keeping your keyboard finger-free?

GParted or GNOMEPartitionEditor is an excellent tool that simplifies the challenging process of partitioning. While experienced users of Open Source Software may find various uses for GParted, for me it will always be a newbie's wonder tool. The partitioning step turns away several new users wanting to install a Linux distribution on their box unless one lets the distro take over the entire hard disk, which isn't always feasible. GParted will enable such users prepare their disks for a Linux install.

You can download GPart free at http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...kage_id=173828 Since it will be a cd burnable iso9660 type disk image the free version of BurnOn has seen some great results lately and can be found at http://www.burnworld.com/burnoncddvd/
