Yes you can. Decide on the sizes of the partitions you need and run partition magic. Increase / decrease any partitions you have and / or create new ones. After you're finished, partition magic will perform these tasks after you reboot your pc.....

just like ....... (partition) magic

yeah, ****ing magic alright:mad:
**** magic!!!

i recently decided to delete my system partition, resize my data partition & then create a new system partition.
5 hours & 50% done later i got sick of waiting (i wanted to get some ****ing sleep) and turned my pc off.

mostly my own fault... but 10 ****ing hours??? bollocks to that.

stupid me thought that i'd backed all of my important stuff up... 400mb of pictures from my digital camera - gone. (along with a couple of gb of porn:( )

grrrrr!

just make sure you've backed up all of your stuff beforehand
