Hi,

I've just bought a samsung HDD 500gb from you happy chappys here and was wonder (as the title says) if I can partition the drive without formatting it.

I've spent the best part of a week trying to install XP and I've finally managed it, now all I need is to get 50gb or so seperated to use for photos/itunes

Any idea,

Thanks

Tom

Hey Thomas,

You mean "Partitioning without formatting..." ;)

Yep - nice free application here - http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
That should sort you out! :)

Shout if you have any other questions...

Thanks
