I remember back in the day of the PC there was a program called i think it was Partition Magic. Great program that would let you do just about anything you wanted to your drives without having to go through all the work of moving, backing up, reinstalling your programs.
I'm just getting started with El Capitan and am wondering if it will let me do basically the same thing using disk utility. I've read a couple of things that seem to say it will. Has anyone done it yet with good results. I have a 1 T disk drive that at the moment only has a few programs and the OS X boot install. What i would like to do is partition the drive into 4 partitions using one partition for the OS X boot and using the other 3 for different things like my music library, documents etc. Can disk utility do this without having to format and start from scratch ?
