Partitioning Hard Drive

[Tezdread]

Hi is there any free software that I can get to partition a HD? Or how can I do it without FDISK?

Have you tried Partition Magic. I just used it on a W2K Pro Workstation and it worked beautifully. Not free, but a good tool none-the-less.

That's what I tried first and it suggested I download a Demo of VolumeManager which I did and it looks and works very similar to Partition Magic.

There must be more than ne way? I will keep looking )

Partition Magic 6 which is what I use for my workstations does not work on the Server, and how can I run FDISK? When I tpye it in the DOS Console I get a message saying that it is and unrecognised command?

Has anyone used FDISK or Partition Magic on Windows 2000 Server? if so please explain how.

Thank you

Best way to Fdisk is to boot PC from floppy Bootable disk in drive a,
1) select not to load CD,
2)at a:\(prompt type) fdisk.

First off, have you ever used fdisk before? try this URL:

http://fdisk.radified.com/,

if not, I don't remember the URL, hopefully someone can give it to
you. It has a good indept explination for setting up partions on a HD.

There is also a tool available for servers, called Server Magic, maybe you could give that one a try also.

Another way is install (clean) W2KPro in different directory, install PQ Magic and start it
