Last week I need a new partition on my external drive. The HDD has 80Gb split in 2 partitions, one of 20Gb and one of around 56Gb. The first partition was nearly full and the second had 30Gb of free space (but with many fragmented files). The obvious solution is to move the 26Gb from the second partition to another drive, delete it and create 2 smaller ones. But if you don’t have the 26Gb of temporary space there is another solution: shrink the second partition and create a new one in the free remaining space. This can be achieved with Partition Magic but the tool is not free. (You can download a trial version and see if it is working but using free tools is better – and I was eager to see if it is possible).
