For my partitioning needs, I've used Partition Magic in the past...with
good results. Mostly I liked it because it was easy to move/resize
partitions...and since it was a DOS tool...I could do it outside of whatever
OS I did (or didn't) have on the machine.
I downloaded the GNU parted boot disk...which provides a lightweight
Linux boot disk with parted for editing partitions. I played with it a
little and it seemed quite usable.
So is this a good, reliable tool for this purpose? Should I consider
any other alternatives? Any gotchas I should aviod?
TIA,
Chris
