Ok guys i am in need of a harddrive partitiont that is compatible with vista 64bit. I know that there is norton magic but thats not vista ready yet. What i need the software to do is to make a exact image of the harddrive, and that i can move space over from this partition to that partition. Ex. on my C partition i only have 6gb out of 70gb left and on my D partition i have 123gb out of 162gb left, so I want to move 40gb from the D to the C. I am willing to pay $30 the most for the software, $40 if it is really good. Thanks!

harddrive partition software

Take a look at Paragon's partition managing software. Note that some products are listed as Vista 64-bit compatible and some are Vista 32-bit compatible - read carefully.
Regarding Vista 64-bit compatability, some partition operations, such as partition creation and re-sizing may be accomplished from DOS or Linux boot CDs - so Vista-compatabilty is not critical for those operations.
Others to check might be Terabyte BootIt NG and Acronis Disk Director.
Hope this helps!

Thanks!, helps alot
ill check out those software to see which one best suits my needs. Yea i use linux to image the harddrive and it can only be from the same size hd to the same size hd but, don't know how to use it to move free space to the other partition.Reply With Quote
One method to re-size partitions - without using special partition-management apps - is to use the disk-cloning function. Cloning utilities must deal with cloning to smaller or larger drives, so they offer the option of changing partition sizes during the clone operation, either manually or auto-scaled.
If all you want to accomplish is re-sizing partitions, this function is available free on the free utilities offered by disk manufacturers - simply manually assign different partition sizes during the clone process. I've used utilities by WD and Maxtor that perform just as well for cloning as universal partition-management apps - same speed, same function, never a failed clone.
Hope this helps!
? My harddrive is oem from hitachi so no software included and i built my own computer, so don't have any of the software thingy that the manufactures gave ya, and i don't think the vista installation disk has any of those stuff too.
