Hi guys,

I currently have a 120 gig HDD loaded with spywares and "educational videos" :lol: . HDD has about 24 gig of free space left. I want to partition the drive into 2 partitions, 1 of 15 gig and the other with the rest of the space. How do I go about doing this? Partition Magic 8.0 doesn't work because my drive is NTFS.

Thanks in advance.

Why exactly is your drive loaded with spyware? Have you considered a reformat? Have you considered learning what PM8 can ACTUALLY do?

eh? PM works with NTFS drives and has as far back as I can remember.

Maybe one of your "educational videos" can help you out. :razz:

Yeah, that's been my (limited) experience with Partition Magic as well. Are there any specific protections on the NTFS partition, or might it be damaged?
