Is there a (free) HDD partitioning tool that will partition without formatting? - windows is borked and i dont want to have to send everything back to my old computer and back again for the reinstall. |

not sure if it will make u fomat drive tho? It will let you make a partition in free space on the drive. What is your objective though bilbo? You may run into problems with two installs of windows on the same drive. |

You may run into problems with two installs of windows on the same drive. its just to store files while i reinstall windows, saves having to use the other computer for storage via network (which is full and messy) unless i can repair windows? |

Should work fine, assuming windows is in a good enough state to actually install the software. BTW you'll have to format the partition once you've made it, but partition magic does all that. |

with PM you will need to shrink the existing partition first usually. You could reinstall Windows into a different directory instead. Parallel install details are here If doing that I would backup/rename your Documents&Settings folders first. |

repartitioned drive, but it turns out a reinstall shouldn't be necessary (see my other thread) |
