May have to move files around on drive and change partion size. Heard about Partition Magic and Partition Manager. Are there any major differences between the two that should be concerning? Ease of use, etc. Will be used on XP laptop drive.

It's a Personal Preference thing which ever one you are more comfortable with will work better for you.

They both do much the same thing in a similar manner.

If you have never used either then neither would be easier to learn over the other but make sure that the first time that you use one of these you have a backup/clone of the partitions already made as you can do a lot of damage if you make a mistake.

PM8 is far superior to P. Mgr. however it has been emasculated by the Vista "virus" I think to help there pal Symantec sell more of their own version (which I do not recommend). Am personally still searching for the best solution to this but beware because using either can give you serious problems. PM8 used to run faultlessly under the original XPHome and Pro versions but since SP2 there have been lots of problems I think purposefully introduced to further enlarge the MS strangehold on the market e.g TweakUI, Regedit, etc etc.
