Help with disk partition

[ewingr]

I have one disk which is set up in disk management as the picture shows:

On each end is disk space that I would like to combine to make into a separate partition, so I can install a separate OS for boot.

Can this be done? If so, recommendations on method would be appreciated. While I have a full backup of current drive, I hope to not mess things up requiring an install

Can be done with the Bootable CD of Partition Wizard: Free Partition Magic alternative, partition manager freeware, partition magic server, partition magic Windows 7 and free Partition Manager software for Windows 7/8/VISTA/XP/2000 and Windows Server 2003/2008/2000.

Download PW boot CD linked above, Boot into PW CD to delete the partition on the left end then follow Partition Wizard Resize Partition - Video Help.

Then use Same Resize procedure with the Free space on the right end.

Have a Win7 DVD or System Repair Disk standing by since Resizing on the boot sector can cause unbootable Win7. If so boot into disk to run Startup Repair up to 3 Separate Times.
