You can use gparted live CD (<a href="http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/livecd/livecd.htm" rel="ugc">http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/livecd/livecd.htm</a>), although all the scripting has been done. You can use the command line options, if that helps.

I am looking for a way to have a script that will take a computer and create a new partition out of what is already there. So for example, there is the C volume. I want to take this C volume and break off 8 gigs and create a new partition and assign it the letter U. After everything is done I want to be able to have a 8 gig partition called U. <br />
<br />
I am having a hard time to figure out what commands to run. I need to run this from a script.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!

Shrink and create new partition in command line?

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.

Windows 7

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.
