Create new partition on NTFS volume

NTFSD
1

Hi everyone!

Is it possible to “repartition” NTFS volume without reformating it? Lets
say I currently gave a 4G NTFS volume and I would like to divide it and
have 3G NTFS and 1G FAT32. I run defrag so all files are at the beginning
of the volume and (theoreticaly) I could “cut” part of it without loosing
data. So, is it doable? And if so how can I do it?

TIA,

Vladimir

Power Quest sells a product called Partition Manager that does this. I’m
sure there are others…

Nothing that is built in to windows however.

I think PartitionMagic will allow you to do this.
