Thanks a lot! :)
It seems that Method-2 is the most suitable rather than getting rid of "System"

What is the reason you want to get rid of one partition. If it is because of the 4 primaries, there is an easier way to solve the problem.
Yes, this is because of 4 primaries. I wish to add more partitions.
I would like to have a look at the easier way if it is different from Method-2 mentioned by Bare Foot Kid.
Thanks anyway!
The easiest is to make the C partition a logical partition. You can do that with the bootable CD of Partition Wizard - that is probably what you refer to in the tutorial of Ted (Bare Foot Kid). Just highlight C in PW, go to the Partition Tab > Modify and you will see,
I have installed PW home edition. And as you said, in the Partition tab I find the option and can make C: logical!
But I didn't APPLY yet! coz...just wondering if I can do it from here, why should I use PW bootable CD??!!
If you show green signal, I will press APPLY button in PW
Right, You need the bootable CD of PW (last entry on the webpage) because you cannot run it off your system whilst this is active. Burn the .iso to a CD and boot the CD.
Probably I could not make you understand!
I mean, I am getting the same options to make C: Logical, at the PW that I installed in my Laptop. And it seems that I can make C: logical from within Win 7, rather than using the PW bootable CD.
But question is that if I use in the installed version, is it OK / same with that with the bootable CD?
OR I must have to use bootable CD, although I have the same options available in the installed version of PW??
Thanks for support! :)
I would use the bootable CD - I think from within the running OS it will not work. But I have never tried that. You can try and then tell us whether it worked - I doubt it though.
Yes!! It worked..though I took a risk!
However, it actually didn't work from within Windows as Windows was preventing to perform action, I guess; was showing an message that it will be done once restarted. And finally change was done by PW during booting windows..
I am now making drives!!
Thanks a lottttttttt!!!
You are welcome. So my hunch was correct - you cannot change the OS partition from within windows whilst this is running, right?
