If there's no Mac software to re-partition a hard drive without loosing the data, then why does Norton Speed Disk have an option for defragmenting all the files to one side of a hard drive, called "re-partitioning" or something like that? Just wishful thinking on Norton's part maybe? I know there's software for doing this same task on a PC, I think it's called "Partition Magic". -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
