If you can post this it is probably already on your computer, regardless of operating system. :chuckles:

Partitioning will actually be better for large drives. Fdisk is great, but if you have data on the HD that you want to keep, fdisk is not the answer.

For reference:
http://partition.radified.com/ is a good site.

I have stuff on my drive that i want to keep. I just finished it with partition magic :rick:

I'm installing a second OS on my computer, and for that I need it partitioned.
