    Gary - like DDP and Dr.xp I use Norton Partition Magic 8.0; it is a pretty sweet product. It's well worth the price; you may want to buy it bundled up with Norton Ghost and buy 2 products together rather than just purchasing Partition Magic. ... that's what I did; here is a link for the bundle:
