i suggest use systemrescue CD you will find Parted &QtParted this is some information from the site below: GNU-Parted-1.6.23 Parted it is the best linux partition tool. It's a reliable text based partition editor for Linux. QtParted and PartGui This is the most interesting feature of this CDRom. You can use these two graphical partition tools without XFree86 (they work with QtEmbedded). They can be considered as the best free PartitionMagic clones for Linux. They allow you to see a chart of your hard disk, create, format, delete, and modify partitions. You must start with the Frame Buffer in order for these utilities to work well. PartGui is not developed anymore, then QtParted is the best choice. http://www.sysresccd.org/System-tools <http://www.sysresccd.org> On 4/17/06, Kayvan A.
