How to repartition hard disk in Vista Home Premium ??

[Nikhil]

My sis got a lappy and I want to repartition the drive. They havent given the Vista install DVD. Only the recoivery CD or whatever.

So, I guess formatting and reinstalling is out.

A friend of mine also goit a similar config and he also has the same Vista Home Premium and he also wants to partition his hard drive. He says Vista has some inbuilt program or operation to partition the hard disk.

Can anyone help me out here ??

Why not use Acronis disk director or Partition magic ?

Do they work for Vista ??

@KK --- Can I use diskpart to repartition the hdd ??

Ajnd also, using Acronis and Partition magic, will I lose all data on the C drive ?? Because C drive is some 120 GB.... I want to break it down into smaller partitions.

Acronis disk director definately works ... you wont loose any data (unless the power goes off while repartitioning )

It's a laptop, so no worries abt that

And is Acronis free ??
