Messing around with the hard drive’s structure is high on my list of the most unpleasant things to do with a computer. However, my basic do-it-myself credo is to never pay a computer shop guy to do what I can handle myself. My corollary to that philosophy is to never pay for software you can get for free. With hard drive partitioning, the issue is less a question of paid versus free. It really comes down to the quality of the tools. But beware, drive partitioning tools — paid or free– run the gamut from good to terrible.
