There is a freeware utility that comes with FreeBSD, as well as a commercial utility called PartitionMagic (http://www.partition.com) that lets you repartition disks without formatting them. Take a (very good) look at the FreeBSD docs at http://www.freebsd.org. You may also want to take a look at the multi-os tutorial, also available on the web site. Nadav
