I use disk images instead of partitions.
Disk Copy, ShrinkWrap, or PGP Disk all work well.
It's easy to create disk images.
If you make them too big (or too small), you can re-create them with
out disturbing all the other data on your disk.
If you use PGPDisk or ShrinkWrap, you can password-protect your data.
