Gaming Partition software that works for 64 bit vista?

[da_head]

i already tried paragon, which claims to work for 64 bit, but doesn't. and i know vista can partition itself, but there are limitations on it. so any suggestions?

Use GParted. It's Linux-based and free so you don't need to worry about type of stuff.

yeah download the gparted live cd, burn it, then load it from the bios

 

[da_head]

k i'll try it. thanks

you could also try acronis disk director 10
dont know if there 64bit support though

gparted isn't booting for me o.o

i used poweriso and turned the folder into an image file, and i burned it to a cd. and yes i have cd/dvd to boot before the harddrive chosen in the bios. whats up?

Have you burnt the ISO as an image on the disc, or you added the ISO file on the file structure of the CD?
If you don't burn it like an exact CD copy, the CD boot sector might not be able to initialize. Don't extract the ISO content, you'll lose some important data.

Imagine the ISO file as a virtual CD. The only thing you have to do is to do an exact copy to a physical media.

You could try to burn the image (ISO file) with InfraRecorder. Launch it, select the option "Write Image" and choose the ISO file. That should do it.

i used poweriso to turn the folder into an daa file (similar to iso). then i burned the image file the cd. i also tried to just burn the folder itself onto the cd, but that didn't work either

Why not just use imgburn to burn the ISO?

k i'll give it a shot thanks

EDIT: it didn't work either o.o

EDIT 2: ahh i see what i did wrong. i dled the wrong version of gparted. give me a sec

I wanted to add, do you have a Vista disk? It'll be needed if you do a partition.

 

[DrYHeLL]

why would a vista disk be needed now?

also da_head: you said the partition tool had limits? What did you need to do? prepare for windows 7? if so you can use it. worked fine for me.

edit: woot post #100!

err i don't have one..but i just did it, and it worked? however, i have this problem now. the partitions don't show up in my computer, and when i go to disk management, i can't do anything to them..

ok i figured out what i did wrong. i forgot to format the partitions first. but after doing that, my comp wasn't booting O.O (hence y u need the vista disk). it said i didn't have an OS installed, but after rebooting it fixed itself. holy fuck that scared me :S
