I haven't tried this... but if all you want is to print booklets, you may find that functionality already built into your printer. We have Ricoh multifunction network printers at work, and they have duplex and several kinds of booklets already set up. You just have to click "Properties" and pick the one you want.

Thanks Nighted, but that just talks about partitioning a new drive added - that was always easy. I am talking about a Notebook Computer, where there is only one drive, and it is all C:\

How about http://www.cutepm.com/ (free partition manager).
Haven't tried it - get a backup image before you do!
If you try it let us know what you think (start a new thread)
tomos:
Can I add another task that needs a freeware program:
When buying a new computer, it will probably be one (NTFS) partition occupying the whole hard disk. If you want to partition it, you need a commercial program such as Partition Magic to resize the existing partition to make space for the new partition - of course without loosing data.
I can not find a free Windows or DOS program to do this. There are LINUX programs to do it (parted, gparted, NTFSresize), but I don't know how to use them. I want it on a DOS boot disk, or Boot CD (such as UBCD).
Can anybody help?

I've used gparted to resize a partition with stuff on it - was reasonable intuitive but came with a warning that it couldnt handle big changes (size increase/decrease - which it didnt define more than that) - so prob not a great choice
Carol Haynes:
You could also try http://www.ranish.com/part/ which says it can resize partitions.
Also http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/Partition-Resizer.shtml
Try looking through: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=freeware+resize+partition&btnG=Google+Search
Just looked at CutePM again and it doesn't seem to resize - just acts as a suped up. graphical FDisk type utility.

I used Ranish ages ago (well, at least 4-5 years) and it did the job back then! I can't vouch for it now, but at least my one experience with it was a happy one.
