Resize Partition? My core hard drive has 3 partitions.. 1 for hidden 7 at 100mb, 1 for core windows C: at 120gb, and another at 356gb for my profiles// docs etc..
I am starting to run a bit low on the C: partition. Programs, games, etc.. I need to pull some space from the D: to C:. I have tried Disk management, and Easeus partition manager, both of which will let me Shrink the D Drive, however, neither will let me add storage onto the C: Drive once it is un-allocated.. Wondering if anyone has a suggestion I can use to accomplish this..
Thanks!! | My System Specs |

Sound to me like you need to move some personal Data to the D drive.
Adding a partition might be a waste of space.
120gig should be more than enough for all installed programs. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP d4996t (upgraded) OS XP MCE .... XP Pro 64 ....

120 gb is not enough for all installed programs.. Some of the programs/games I now have installed exceed 10gb in size. I have just over 20gb free on the C drive, and I want to add to it. All my personal data is on the D drive. Anyone know of a way to take space from one partition and add it to another? Trying to find a way of doing this that does not involve re-installing Windows.. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS Windows 7 Ultimate CPU Amd 5400+ dual core overclocked to 3.0 ghz Motherboard EVGA 590 sli aM2 Memory 8gb 5-5-5-5-15 g-skill Graphics Card Nvidia 9800gt 512mb Sound Card M-Audio Delta 2496 Monitor(s) Displays Acer 22 inch lcd Screen Resolution 1680 x 1050 Keyboard some rubbish I found in my garage Mouse logitech PSU 650 watts Case Antec Sonata II Cooling Zallmen Xpu cooler Hard Drives Hmm

Acronis Disc Director can do that.
Move any partition wall wherever you want. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP d4996t (upgraded) OS XP MCE .... XP Pro 64 ....

Tried the free trial.. Running it, it states is not compatible with my version of windows.. Running Windows 7 64 bit.. Compatibility troubleshooter did not bear any fruit with that either.. Thanks though.. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS Windows 7 Ultimate CPU Amd 5400+ dual core overclocked to 3.0 ghz Motherboard EVGA 590 sli aM2 Memory 8gb 5-5-5-5-15 g-skill Graphics Card Nvidia 9800gt 512mb Sound Card M-Audio Delta 2496 Monitor(s) Displays Acer 22 inch lcd Screen Resolution 1680 x 1050 Keyboard some rubbish I found in my garage Mouse logitech PSU 650 watts Case Antec Sonata II Cooling Zallmen Xpu cooler Hard Drives Hmm

Compatibility troubleshooter did not bear any fruit with that either.. Thanks though.. I just got around to installing DDS on Windows 7 x64, without any problem. I know that what came on the CD was only for x32 and I had to download the x64 version. Since I don't remember exactly how I got it, I took a glance at the Acronis download options and didn't see anything except one choice, and I imagine that is the x32 version. I think that I got the download link from Acronis support, but I don't know if they have a trial version of x64 or not. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DIY OS W7x64 Pro, SuSe 12.1/** W7 x64 Pro, XP MCE CPU Phenom II 1090T w/Noctua NH-D14 /**4400+ X2 w/CM Hyper TX 3 Motherboard ASRock 890FX Deluxe 4/**A8N-SLI Memory 2 x 2GB Patriot PGS34g1600LLKA/**4x1GB Corsair VS Graphics Card EVGA GTX460 SC/**EVGA 8800GTS Sound Card Asus Xonar D2X/**Xonar D1 Monitor(s) Displays Acer X233H, Dell E152FPc /**LG M237-WD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 & 1024x768/**1980x1080 Keyboard Logitech Media USB/**Saitek Eclipse Mouse Cordless Trackman Wheel/**Ditto PSU CM RS600 w/ APC BX1000G/**Antec 500 TP w/ APC BX1000 Case HAF922/**Antec 1040IIB Cooling 3x200mm, 1x140 and 1x120mm/**5x80mm fans Hard Drives WDC 2TB, 1.5TB, 1TB, 500GB,Seagate 500GB , Maxtor 80GB /**500GB Seagate & WDC 1TB Black Internet Speed 3.3Mbps Other Info SB 560 5.1 w/ Sennheiser RS140/**Creative T20 speakers, Dvico FusionHDTV7 Gold RT, Cisco E3000, HP 5510V AIO, Linksys E3000, Belkin F5U237 hub and **F5D8055 adapter

What I said previously about about having to download a x64 version of DDS wasn't true, I got mixed up with TI 10. I did use it a bit earlier to delete one partion, resize another and to move one partition to another location, and didn't run into any problems. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DIY OS W7x64 Pro, SuSe 12.1/** W7 x64 Pro, XP MCE CPU Phenom II 1090T w/Noctua NH-D14 /**4400+ X2 w/CM Hyper TX 3 Motherboard ASRock 890FX Deluxe 4/**A8N-SLI Memory 2 x 2GB Patriot PGS34g1600LLKA/**4x1GB Corsair VS Graphics Card EVGA GTX460 SC/**EVGA 8800GTS Sound Card Asus Xonar D2X/**Xonar D1 Monitor(s) Displays Acer X233H, Dell E152FPc /**LG M237-WD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 & 1024x768/**1980x1080 Keyboard Logitech Media USB/**Saitek Eclipse Mouse Cordless Trackman Wheel/**Ditto PSU CM RS600 w/ APC BX1000G/**Antec 500 TP w/ APC BX1000 Case HAF922/**Antec 1040IIB Cooling 3x200mm, 1x140 and 1x120mm/**5x80mm fans Hard Drives WDC 2TB, 1.5TB, 1TB, 500GB,Seagate 500GB , Maxtor 80GB /**500GB Seagate & WDC 1TB Black Internet Speed 3.3Mbps Other Info SB 560 5.1 w/ Sennheiser RS140/**Creative T20 speakers, Dvico FusionHDTV7 Gold RT, Cisco E3000, HP 5510V AIO, Linksys E3000, Belkin F5U237 hub and **F5D8055 adapter

Musiclover 7 is an example of why it is not always a good idea to use multiple partitions--you end up with space issues on certain partitions, even though the drive as a whole has plenty of space; and you then have to deal with resizing, moving, third party applications, etc. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one OS Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit CPU Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500, not overclocked Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3, full ATX Memory 4 GB Crucial DDR3-1333 Graphics Card none; graphics are integrated on CPU Sound Card onboard: Realtek ALC892; external: USB Behringer UF0-202 Monitor(s) Displays NEC 90GX2-BK 19" LCD Screen Resolution 800 x 640 Keyboard Leopold Tenkeyless with Cherry Blue switches, USB Mouse Logitech or Microsoft optical wired; either USB or PS 2 PSU Seasonic SS-560KM, modular Case Antec Solo II Cooling CPU: Scythe Big Shuriken; Case: Scythe Slipstream 800 & 500 Hard Drives System: Intel 320 Series SSD, 80 GB;
