Spliting an existing XP partition

[slipd]

Hi guys,

Is there a way of 'safely' carving up and existing windows xp partition? I know nothing can be truly guaranteed to be safe but there must be something that's close

Any free apps?

Cheers!

Fastest way is to turn off the swap file, defrag and image the partition (ghost or similar free app) partition and image back.

or defrag and use partition wizzard but depending on what it's got to move it could take a few hours (hence the prior defrag to try to shuffle up the data)

I have used a program called gparted a few times and works well, its a bootable cd with GUI
