Partition Magic is a computer program for hard disk drive partitioning. Partition Magic is capable of resizing NTFS or FAT partitions without data loss, and can copy and move partitions, including to other disks. Additionally, it has somewhat limited support for ext2 and ext3 partitions. However you can create a Linux partition with this program. Here are the steps:

1. Download Partition Magic from here.
2. Install the program and after that open it.
3. At this point you will see all the partitions in your computer. To create a new one ready for Linux look on the left under the Pick a Task pane and choose Install another operating system.
4. At the first screen click Next. Now select Linux from the operating systems shown.
