Hi, I wonder if anyone knows of any software to partition the free space of an existing harddrive/partition.
It's for the NTFS file system found on windows OS.

You could try GNU fips - but NTFS is one of those filesystems which isn't widely supported thanks to MS being all secret.

I have Partition Maigc. It supports a number of types of partitons. But you have to pay for its software. But do what i did. Download the trail. Make the back up discs And keep the backup disks! Yes, thats right, Boot up the system with the floppies and you can do all you really want to do in the main software! But i haven't really read the T&C, so i wouldn't know if its 100% legal. Chances are its not.
But if you want to add an extra partition To it MS has it own software to do it, Although very basic.
Goto Control pannel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management.
There on the left got down and click on Disk Manager. Hope you can figure things out on there. But i think you can only format unpartioned space. And delete partitons.

I've used partitionmagic, and resized one partition, then I made, two partitions one ext2(for linux), and a swap partition(for linux too) in the unallocated space.
I had a live knoppix cd, and copied some of its contents to the linux partition with the use of a script from the cd.
I now have debian linux installed.
