question about partitions

[sarus86]

what software do you recommend using to resize an existing partition that you already have so you can then create new partitions for a new OS and data partition? i have heard of people using a program called GParted, is that one any good or is there a better one?

Do you wish to keep your existing Windows installation and data files?

Try Partition Magic. It runs in XP
