gnrrulz Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) Its always dangerous to partition a drive that has data on it but I've had good luck with this:http://gparted.sourceforge.net/Download the .iso file and burn it as an image file with nero or something. Then boot into it.Don't worry its easy to use and all graphical.I would still make back ups of your data before doing this though.Oh and make sure you defrag before using it as well.

Max™ Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 GParted LiveCD also gets my vote, been using it for about a year now.You must backup in any case, since its such a time consuming and delicate process its very easy for things to go wrong.

FunkyMonk Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Why would you partition your computer? Wouldn't having 2 OS's just make it harder to use...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 (edited) Why would you partition your computer? Wouldn't having 2 OS's just make it harder to use...?No. I like programming in linux and I need it for a class next semester anyways. Visual Studio has been working for me, but I like and am more used to GCC as its awesome. Plus Qt is FREE on linuxEDIT: NEVERMIND Edited June 17, 2007 by kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
