Also great when you buy a new pc that the manufacturer has portioned the
hard drive in the bizarre manner that some do. Most large PC makers
partition the hard drive with a huge System Restore partition. I recently
worked on an IBM ThinkPad with 10 or 20 GB in reserve. The reserve had
little on it and the OS's partition was nearly full. I also worked on an
Acer which had a 160 GB drive partitioned with 80 GB as a reserve partition.
That's absurd!

XP can't solve that dilemma on its own. You need a partition manager for
fixing that.

Partition Magic is IMHO a great product. It's especially useful if you run
multiple Operating Systems, but even without that, it's good for
partitioning and repartitioning drives, and also cloning one to another (as
when you replace a disk with a bigger one).
