Shrink C drive Expand D & add extra partition A
My operating system is Win7 Ultimate.
Currently I have two WD 500 GB drives on my PC.
One has 2x 250 GB NTFS partitions.
The other drive (F: ) is not partitioned and I have no need to partition (F: )
(F: ) is used for archiving photos and some videos.
This inquiry is about the one hard drive with two partitions (C: and D: )
Currently it stores the following.
Partition C: Operating System, Applications, My Documents (approx 250 GB)
Partition D: Data, photos and a few videos (250 GB)
To create more space on D: and make it easy to create a back up image of
the operating system I would like to shrink C: and re partition the drive to be three primary partitions like this:
C: Operating system (approx 50 GB)
A: Applications (approx 30 GB)
D: Data (My Documents and other files 420 GB).
Can anyone advise the procedure for achieving my goal
without losing data or having to reinstall applications?
Also as I will be moving MyDocuments, I understand I would I need to change
the default location of "Users".
Any advice would be much appreciated.
