Well I donno. I just tried using DFSee on Win XP SP2 to recover a lost FAT32 partition and it crashed on me with an illegal operation. And it made my ReiserFS partition disappear. :(
I still think wanting windows to do such thing is wantiong windows to delete your partitions.
I'm perfectly pleased with fdisk and mkfs, available on any linux cd
even partition magic is said to destroy some partition sheme

If you're going to do it in Linux, can you not use YaST Partitioner? I've looked at it but never actually tried it out, though I was planning to the next time I needed to do partitioning on a hard-drive.

I realise that the original posting asked about a partitioner that ran under Windows. However, it seems to have migrated to those that will run under the superior OS :-) So, how about cfdisk as in Vector Linux? I've just downloaded it to run an old, old PC that would not take SuSE but will run Vector very happily. cfdisk seems to support a hundred and one different file systems. It might be worth taking a look... -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Take care.
