I have a dedicated BSD drive with free space, is it ok to re-partition =
the drive? Or is this what we call "destructive" re-partitioning? Will =
it completely screw up my existing partitions? Why isn't there a =
non-destructive partition utility for the mac like Partition Magic for =
the PC. PM is verry sweet and easy to use. Is it because it's not =
possible on the Mac or that no one cares enuff to write one? Seems to =
me that FBW, long-time Mac supporter and harddrive utility authors would =
come up with a scheme. Oh well.
