Allows you to partition your hard drive without reformatting it!

I've been doing no-risk repartitioning (without losing data) without problems with some other software on the Mac, especially when I was making the Mac Linux-ready; I forgot the name, but I think it's been discussed here on MacRumors before.

I'm sure this new FWB tool is to be a *LOT* more user-friendly, and that's a good thing. :)

Ah, finally! Partition Magic is great on the PC, I hope this product is just as good on the Mac!

wow only $20, not bad. Anyone tried this? i'd consider it since i move stuff around on my mac alot and sometimes need to change partition sizes.

If its as good as partiton magic then i'm sold, that is such a great program.

the site says it's only OS 9 at this point

wonder if this would present any problems?

people these days are looking for OS X utils, since there aren't too many good ones

it might only be os 9 because there are problems doing it in os x

the soon to be released macs aren't supposed to be able to boot into 9

that means we need native X utils
