    Change Partitions Prior to Macrium Restore


    Created an image of my C drive and System Reserved with Macrium. I want to change my partitions prior to restoring my image. Is the easiest to just use my Windows 7 disk?

    Have a 500GB hard drive on my laptop and want to change the partition sizes.

    Thanks!

    The easiest way is Windows Disk Management.

    Sometimes, it won't let you do exactly what you want to do.

    In that case, you need a third party tool such as Partition Wizard bootable CD, from here:

I feel stupid but need to ask. I'm new to Win7 and find all the help articles I've read are just confusing, so: do I need to Create a Restore Point before downloading a batch file (found elsewhere in this board to enable WinMail),then install WinMail? Or just rely on the auto Restore Point that...
