Great! Just Remember to schedule the checkdisk utility with the repair switch "chkdsk /r" typed in at the command prompt to run on the next startup. That will insure the resizing seen there has maintained it's integrity.

In the amount of time this thread took I could have installed Win7 30 times and also created and extended about a thousand partitions. Sometimes it's faster and easier to just start from scratch.
True, but the OP has learned something about moving/merging partitions - and got suggestions for some great free apps.
You got that right on the spot! SIW2
The help we can offer is simply part of a learning process for anyone new. Just because "we" can do something faster "we" don't go around critising someone simply because they don't have that amount of experience! They might just turn around and end up showing "us" something "we" DIDN'T know!
It went something like that! I caught all three of those as well as some other oldies!
Otten here when planning a dual boot if the first is shrunk down I simply nuke the second primary and create the new larger one for a clean install there. But I've also spent a great of time working with multiboots on multiple drives especially with 7! For the next person they may only have one drive to work with along with the need to preserve the first changing the environment there.
THe circumstances for each individual user will always tend to vary with that simply being one example. Once you help someone become a better problem solver they can then turn around at some point later and actually discover something previous missed! "gee? how did he find that one when we didn't?"
Lol ^^ The end is for all pro's discussing :P But i agree with you, now, i can go and help some-other people/person if they have my same problem :P
