Expanding my partition?
Hi I have a dual boot system, windows 7 and ubuntu linux.
The windows partition is really outgrowing its living space - can I increase this without upsetting the balance of the set-up?
Thanks!

Hello lister, welcome to Seven Forums!
That depends, are you using Grub and which OS was installed first?
You may try the Free Download Partition Wizard . boot in PW, try to expand the win7 partition.
But have a second thought before doing it. As it is a primary active partition having boot flag, expanding may harm the bootloader. Though a Startup Repair will solve the windows bootloader, I am not sure about grub (perhaps you may have to update grub to get linux back in dual boot menu).
