Partition operations and power failure problems

[ptek]

Hello all,

I wonder if there is any program for winblows ou lunix for disk partitioning that takes into account any possible power failure during time consuming disk operations like expanding a disk partition and allows to (sucessful) recover from it.

I read the Partition Magic FAQ and even Norton stuff (sucks) and I didn't find any line about this subject...

The only program I read it does is System Commander but I had some problems with that (its main goal was to allow and manage a lot of installed OS on the PC... partitioning was a secondary subject)

Was do you know about know partition tools and power failure proof ?

I need to do repartition the hard disk and my PC is not a portable computer, so no batery backup is avaialble.

A UPS is out of question I guess. As far I know, UPS that can mantain for hours costs a lot (and i dont' pretend to buy any, just for disk operations)

ok, i have partition magic but i wasn't sure it had that kind of protection.

Yes, tranferring data could be an option.

Yes, i know ghost but i'll need another HD since my disk is huge ...

The question is that it's not only data ... I have on my HD about 4 partitons and I was planning to add another, so I must resize one in order to convert its free space into a new partition, and btw move some of them.

I trusted partiton magic and all was been done now.

thanks

some of them are in FAT32
