I have no actual documentation on HD Toolbox.  My current A3000 has a 4GB hard drive split into 2 partitions: System and Work.  Is there any way to partition the Work into Work1 and Work2 without deleting Work (and all its contents) first?  It didn't seem so when I tried -- of course, I chose the CANCEL option rather than proceeding.

with HD toolbox I'm sure that is not possible. just be happy you don't have to delete system partition. there may be some utility out there that may do it, but I'd not trust doing so without a backup anyway and then i may not trust the integrity of the data afterwards.

Thanks guys.  Seems like the easiest thing to do is add another hard drive!

You can do it but it's hazardous - ReOrg so the data is in the beginning of the partition; split the partition and quick format the new ones. Disksalv/undelete the new first partition and hopefully get the data back. I never tried, just bought new hard drives...


Pretty good trick. do a backup first :)
