Need to use F.A.S.T to transfer my files and settings to a new machine. Gary Woodruff's marvelous "how to" document, suggests storing the file created by F.A.S.T. on another partition of the machine (old) that is creating it. Here's the problem: I never partitioned my C Drive when installing it, and now I need to partition it after the fact so I can do this task.

How do I now partition my C drive? which is a 60GB drive with less than 9GB in use?

Thank you very much for your help.

how much do you need in order to do this task?

Jake,

For this task, only about 1GB, but I think I'd go ahead and create a "B" Drive of at least 10GB. I just don't know the procedure involved in Partitioning a HD.

If you want to partition the drive non-destructively, you will need a third-party partitioning tool.

Do you have a CD-RW or DVD-RW in this machine? And the software loaded to run it?

Just a link to your other thread for reference:

Gary Woodruff also suggests sending the .dat file to a different hard drive.

I mention this as the software will cost as much as an inexpensive hard drive

Unless you have plans for future partitioning.

There is this free partitioning tool that takes a bit of work and patience but as said is free:

Yes! As a matter of fact I discovered Partition Magic already hiding on my HD and have successfully used it to create my needed partition. Thanks to all who responded. I really do appreciate your efforts to help.
