How to Partition a Hard Drive without Reformatting

Norton PartitionMagic 8.0 | Price: $79
Norton PartitionMagic is capable of resizing NTFS or FAT (16 or 32) partitions without data loss, and can copy and move partitions, including to other disks. It also has various other features, including being able to convert between FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS, modify the cluster size of FAT16/32 and NTFS filesystems, and merge adjacent FAT or NTFS filesystems (all without data loss, though some NTFS-only metadata is lost on conversion to FAT).

Acronis® Disk Director Suite 10.0 | Price: $49
Acronis on the other hand is slightly cheaper, Acronis® Disk Director Suite 10.0 is the easiest and most convenient partition manager and hard disk toolkit. It brings together the most popular disk management functions, partition recovery tools, and boot disk manager in one suite.

I’ve tried both Norton PartitionMagic and Acronis Disk Director and found that Acronis’s boot from CD/DVD feature is pretty awesome, it creates a bootable CD/DVD and it will automatically be detected and displayed as a boot option by Acronis OS Selector. Norton has the same feature but Acronis’s OS Selector is my first choice, comes in handy if you happen to be a geek with MacOS, Linux and Windows running on the same comp.

Windows Disk management | Price: FREE
Free stuff, nothing beats freeware. Stop Google for Norton PartitionMagic 8 crack or serial, here is a free partition tool, this method only works if you happen to have an unallocated partition, possible due to some error or you’ve deleted a partition. Windows Disk Management allows the creation of partition within the unallocated space.

1. Go to ‘Control Panel’ then click on ‘administrative tools’
2. Next, click on ‘Computer Management’
3. Select the unallocated partition and create a new partition.
