I've noticed alot of programs charge silly amounts of money for partitioning programs such as Partition Magic by Norton, I was wondering if Piriform would consider plans for a partition program some time in the future, all of the software they make is of excellent quality and I reckon it would go down very well, I've been having a few issues with partitioning lately, and googling seems to bring up the same stuff with disgruntled PC users having to either torrent dodgy software or forking out for something they'll only use once in a blue moon.
I ain't a programmer, so I ain't gonna start demanding anything, but something credible for the backburner perhaps? ![:lol:]()
Oh and pardon my idiotic typo on the subject title, Partitiong lol.

I think your asking a bit much of Piriform for free Partitioning software. You can download PowerQuest Partition Magic 8.0 for a free trial. ![;)]()
Thanks for the reply KeithUK, yeah it is asking ALOT, I know it's a huge feat to take, the problem in this day and age with drives hitting Terabyte territory and many people now dual/quad booting OS's such as Ubuntu, XP, Vista and upcoming 7 partitioning is certianally gonna start heating up some topics with people wanting decent software to do these tasks.
The problem is people don't want to pay ridiculous amounts of money for a program they only may want to use the once, I can understand paying for virus scanners, editing programs as they are frequently used but something like this should be alot cheaper say ?5-10, just software vendors taking the piss as per usual charging up to 30 quid.
CCleaner, Recuva and Defraggler are truly fantastic programs offering some of the best convenience for daily PC users, in my humble opinion a program for this would be a great asset.
But as I said, I ain't a programmer, and I totally understand how much of a task it must be, the only thing I ever programmed was a calculator that played porn sounds when you pressed the buttons ![:lol:]()
For now here is a free one: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/index.php
I have used it and it worked great.
