Is there a way to partition your hard drive with wiping all of the data? I have an iMac with OSX and OS 9.1 on the same partition and don't want to reinstall everything from scratch.

No, theres not!
****Programmer Alert*****
If this is possible, I know I'd pay for it!
If you know anybody that has a FW drive, (or if you could rent one?). You could go with the previous comment from Jsnuff. I've never used an imac but if you can install a second drive, it'll be a great investment.

I could be completely wrong on this, but doesn't LaCie's Silverlining allow you to expand/condense partitions non-destructively?

FWB's Hard Disk Toolkit allow's dynamic partitioning. However, only after you have first formatted the drive using Hard Disk Toolkit.

on the other hand, a complete clean strip (zero all data) is a damn good idea at least once a year: it blows out so many cobwebs and refreshes your whole outlook (providing you back-up your personal info, of course).
then a clean re-install of all your apps runs so much smoother.
