    Talking How to test

    When you have a code piece to partition a harddisk, how you sure that it work :ekk: ?
    You test on your computers ?
    What if the system fails or all data deleted ?

    Hints are thankful.

    This is where multiple HDD's in a computer come in handy... or else you setup a Bench test system, where there is no critical data on, and does not matter if it gets destroyed...

    why you don't use partition magic that is a reliable software. i have used it several time to repartitionate my hard with data and extending one of my partition by borrowing free sapce from another partition.

    Another option is to use some virtualization s/w. Install the target OS onto the virtual disk, along with your s/w and test away. If the virtual disk gets corrupt, you can always blow it away from the host side, and start all over.

    Virtual Box is pretty good, and free!
