Download EASEUS Partion Manager

Partitioning software is something that's largely never had a free option. Norton's Partition Magic and competitors like Acronis and Spotmau Partition Genius all require you to pay for dynamic drive partitioning. A company called EASEUS is aiming to change that offering a Home Edition of their drive partition software free for personal use in partitioning drives on Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP systems. The company doesn't offer support for Windows Vista, but I tested partitioning Windows Vista with it and the process seemed to work. If you want to partition servers dynamically, you'll need to pay for one of their server editions. The interface is fairly intuitive, you simply pick a drive you want to partition and the software does the work. Whether you partition with the EASEUS software or one of the fee solutions, I highly recommend backing up your data first. Most of the time partitioning goes smoothly, but when it doesn't getting your data back can be a nightmare. [Windows 2k/XP $0.00]
