creating partition from active C:

Any free software that can do this?

Have tried some demos but they just create min size and it can't be changed and boot apps but none seem to work. Ta

You need to provide more information

I read that as you want to shrink your current C: to free up some space to create an additional partition on your hard disk?

Partition Magic or Paragon Partition manager will do the job and not lose any files. (unless u have a powercut)

yes shrink was the key word. you can do this in disk management just didnt work first time even though it still only shrinks to half the disk size. C: 135Gb D:135Gb. I want C: 20Gb D: 250Gb.

Another question. what free RAID management progs are there? The server CD drive is buggered so been using a 4gb usb stick but the dell server management is too big for it, I need something smaller. Can you also do active RAID changes?
