Question A good free partition manager
I have a friend who has Windows installed on a 4Gig partition on a 240Gig hard drive. He has FAT32 with the 4Gig Windows installed on part of the drive and the rest of the 240Gig is NTFS for all the rest of his files. He cleans out the 4Gig one too often because it gets overcrowded and he wants to give more space to that FAT32 4Gig partition. I know that partition magic would be able to do what he wants, but I was wondering if there was a good free partition manager program that could do what he wanted. If anyone knows of that program please let me know

The Ultimatebootcd has a few tools on that would short you out, it's a bit of a download, then burn the iso file to cd, Theres some free software to do that, but look up how to burn a iso file, or use nero or alike.

You can get a list of free software here - GParted Live is quite a good resource.

I was going to say, although Linux - parted magic and/or gparted will do the trick, and they are free.
