    My 8 yr old 160GB HDD was failing so I installed WD 1TB hardisk, old HD had 3 partitions C: (38GB) D: (55GB) E: (55GB) i created a system image of all 3 and restored them to WD 1TB now new partitions are of same sizes and i have got unallocated space of 799GB, how do i change C,D,E to 250GB?

    thanks

    I would make a new primary partition using Partition Wizard, all the way to the right of the hard drive, say 250 to 300 GB.

    Move all your data from D and E to the new partition.

    Delete D and E.

    Extend C to whatever size you want, at least 150 to 250 GB for C.

    Re size the new data partition you created to whatever size you want, and rename it E

    Create a partition in between C and E and name it D.

    Done.

    You can adjust partition sizes to borrow or add space to/from any partition even if not adjacent using How to extend partition easily with Partition Wizard - video help.

    In the future when using our other favorite tool here free Macrium Imaging - Windows 7 Help Forums
    you can drag to the target drive your partitions, then adjust the size and position of each using the Properties link it places below it.
