Are there any tool that can do non-destructive re-partitioning just as PowerQuest PartitionMagic on the x86 platform? I need to change the partitioning on my harddrive to allow for Jaguar/Panther/YDL multi-boot.

Unfortunately, none exist for the Mac platform a this time.

There ARE tools that exist...
Just none that will do the partitioning for you or they run in OS 9. (FWB has a OS 9 one and micromat make an invisible partition in TTP4 on your current disk not sure how they do that though)

I just want to add that this something that one hell of a lot of Mac users would love and could use. There've been many threads on this topic.

Partition Magic is damn cool in what it does. Wonder if it would be worth it for them to port it to OSX?

Edit: Found this over at http://wwwmacosxhints.com. But be damned careful if you do this. A backup first would be an exellent idea.

There's a command line utility called pdisk that can do this. I was going to use it once, just to get back space from an old YDL partition that I decided not to use anymore, but after I backed everything up just incase, I decided to save myself the trouble of learning the commands for pdisk and just reinstalled OS X.
