Mike,

Win 7's built-in Disk Management is fine for basic operations such as creating and re-sizing partitions.  Just shrink an existing partition and create a new partion  in the empty space.

Unless you are one of those folk who like constantly messing with their parts. so to speak then the built-in tool for Windows since Vista SP2 is perfectly adequate.

I have a brand new 320GB hard drive loaded with a OEM Toshiba Win 7 64bit OS.

I just loaded Acronis True Image and now I want to make a backup of the original install and then start stripping the bloat off this sucker.

I want to partition the hard drive so that I have logical partition D: in addition to the C; partition.

I have a boxed copy of Norton Partition Magic v8.0... is that suitable for the latest Windows etc?

Are there newer friendlier partition tools?

thanks,
mike

I know a  named Easeus partition master, which can part your drive in a few minutes and the operation is very simple, it is suitable for any PC users.

Heh, ok...  This one cracks me up a bit.  This guy is only on here as a spammer, yet he's promoting the exact software I use and can definitely recommend (plus the basic version is free).
 
OH NO!!!  I'M BEING TURNED INTO SPAM!!!

If it's any consolation, I've always regarded most of your posts as spam. :)
