sorry to pick up on a thread so old but I need help. Due to a number of power cuts (and maybe some viruses) my computer stopped booting and asked to boot from cd/dvd rom. so I got the Win 7 disc, since Win 7 was the OS it had before it stopped booting. My intention is to make a clean installation of Win 7. Everything runs smoothly up until I get to the point where im supposed to choose the partition in which im to install the OS. These are the drives I have, the 1st one is " Disk 0 Partition 1 (size: 232.9 GB) (type: System) " and the 2nd one is " Disk 0 Unallocated Space (size: 8.0 MB) (type: not stated) ". Okay, I read on the net that if I delete the system partition drive, my computer wont boot properly. I tried to install the OS directly into the System partition drive (since its the biggest) but that resulted in an error. Is it possible for me to reduce the System partition drive from 232.9 GB to about 100 MB so that I can have enough space to extend the 2nd partition drive in order for me to install the OS in it?
