I have an application installed which is not behaving as it should be. A
suggestion from the apps forum (below in quotes)suggested to create a new
partition on my HDD and run the app from there i.e. -
"If you wish to go further with experimenting, then you could try and
install another copy of the OS on a different partition and install only
'APPX' to test it on a brand newly-installed system and see if you still
get this issue."
As for a third party untility, I have looked at EASEUS Partition Master
4.1.1 Professional Edition but unless I am mistaken this wont allow me to
partition a HDD that has an OS installed or data on it. The impression I got
was that a HDD needs to be reformatted before one can create partitions (??)
