    I don't think there is a tool that also supports Windows 2003, if what you
    want is resizing the partitions. You'll probably have to resort to manually
    backuping and recreating the partitions (or maybe send a mail to Powerquest,
    where they will probably be working on a version of Partition Magic that
    does support Windows 2003, and volunteer in testing it).

    Good Luck,

    Ed

    Subject: Recommendations for partitioning tool

    Hi,

    I am looking for a tool like Partition Magic, so that I can shrink
    partitions, create new ones, and make my laptop available for installing
    FreeBSD.

    I have Partition Magic, but unfortunately, I have Win2K3 on one
    partition, and PM detects it and refuses to run. Aarrgh.

    Is there any easy to use tool to shrink down my NTFS partition, delete
    and create other partitions out there?
