I am looking for software that will partition a large hard disk drive into multiple smaller logical disks. I know that many products of this type exist but most require you to pre-specify the partition size at the onset, and any attempt to resize the partitions require you to clear off the diskette, resize the partitions, and reload the disk. Does anybody know of a disk partitioning program that allows me to resize partitions without having to unload and reload the current partitions. A rumor that Absoft has such a program but I cannot confirm it. Thanks, Michael Kahn (kahn@wucs1.wustl.edu)
