GParted Partition Utility

GParted partition utility is a free Open Source Linux utility that can be run from a LiveCD, such as, Insert.  This utility can quickly create Windows FAT32 and NTFS hard drive partitions.  GParted can even resize partitions without destroying the data on the partition.  This make it very useful for creating a second or third partition on a Windows installed drive.  I like to run GParted from the Insert LiveCD because you can boot the computer from the CD and still have full access to the hard drive.  This is a valuable utility that I use often.

LiveCDs

LiveCds are CDs that can be used to startup a non-functioning computer to retrieve files and data that might not otherwise be accessible.  You can also use the LiveCD to troubleshoot, edit files, and scan and remove virus infections.  LiveCDs can be very important computer technician tools.
