Hi all, I'm in Windows XP and I wonder whether it is possible to create a new partition on my HDD without any disc format?
Because I did not want to reinstall windows.
Thank you in advance

Installing windows on SATA drives usually isn't any different from installing them on regular IDE drives. Some machines may requires you to install a driver for it, but it is usually straight foward. The disk manager tool is great for creating partitions, however the one included with XP doesn't include a 'shrink' option (you can't make the system partion smaller.) For that you would want a utility such as Partition Magic or something similar.
, i don't think that's possible yet. You can create an unformatted partitition, but this will
a) wipe all existing filesystemsignatures
b) most likely not end up where you want it
b) is important, because the new partition should start exactly at the same sector as the filesystem. Right now it's not possible to specificy the postition of a partition in this detail. You should either use fdisk or parted from commandline or wait till gparted-0.3.1 or 0.3.2
Use partitioning S/W, like partition commander or partition magic
Hi anaghbarui, can you provide me the link of these software's.
