Is it possible to split a harddrive and keep the data on the new partition?

Something like 'partition magic' can do this. -
Re: partitioning a harddrive
Jep! PQM is fine for this! and its quite easy!
Two things I discovered!
1. Keep a registered Copy of Gdb (Get Data Back) in sight!
2. The HDD should not be filled over 80% at all. It'd slow the process extremely.
3. Defrag before partitionating!

Re: partitioning a harddrive
As Spoon said, Partition Magic can resize existing partitions and create new ones. Note that you should defragment before doing this to try to move any data in the sections you are about to move to a different partition.Originally posted by neilthecellist
If you have a freshly formatted drive, XP Setup can partition your drive for you.Lt. Data
