With a 2-gig drive (3400c) and a fair number of tiny (<2k) text files to
copy over from my old machine, partitioning the drive seems like a good
idea. But (a) I don't know how and (b) I don't really fancy re-installing
the system et al from a backup.

Is there any way of partitioning a drive with data already on it?

Ben
