The only commercial disk partitioner I've seen is "Partition Magic", at
www.powerquest.com. But I can't in good conscience recommend that anyone outlays
$70- for something that doesn't support the linux file system (ext2 et al).
Their webpage is kind of evasive about it not supporting linux (the only info
they give is that all 'major " platforms are supported, without giving any
details , and they even have a screenshot where some-one has linux installed...)
