    Partition Help

    Im looking for a tool to repartition some disks inside windows Vista.

    The problem is it needs to be able to format to EXT2, 3 and RiserFS filesystems instead of just fat and ntfs.

    The disk manager doesnt handle this and Partition Magic isnt compatable with Vista.

    Anyone know of something? i could probably just use fdisk or cfdisk under linux at a push, but like i said im really looking to avoid restarting all the time so a windows soloution would be ideal.

      Acronis Disk Director is easy to use and does all what you are asking Disk management software, partition recovery tool, and boot disk manager for Windows XP and Vista desktop systems

        Cheers guys, i wound up using Paragon Partition Manager

        It does the job but it gives a stack of io errors under vista which "seem" to be bogus (i mean it worked regardless)
        Needless to say i did what i needed to do.

        Gparted what what i normaly use but it wont run under windows (unless i set up a cygwin environment i guess)
