Free iPartition Alternative

[toosepin]

As the title really says, is there a free or cheaper alternative to iParition to work on Leopard?

I can't really justify the cost for a once only job

Whats wrong with leopard Disk Utility ? You can resize, format etc, unlesss theres something very specific you want to do.

He might want to resize a partition (i.e. make another partition out of the existing one) without loosing data in the current partition. AFAIK, there isn't a free one.

You will have to weigh it in your mind, to walk on grey area or not.

Yup, I'm looking to partition an external on the fly. Losing any current data isn't an option I'm afraid.

Can't find much on Google at the moment.

Im pretty sure that Leopard Disk Utility can dynamically partition a hard drive without losing any data, for example the boot camp assisstant can already do this.
Maybe someone could verify this? as Im not able to.

Woo... looks like you can (if that thread is accurate), I never knew that!

Yeah you can, doesnt seem to work if your running from the boot disk though.
