Hello fellow techies, So long story short I partitioned my hard drive on my laptop into 2 partitions. For the first partition I installed my hackintosh, for the second I installed Windows 8. After some long thinking I ended up deleting my first partition with the OS X on it and now want to extend my second partition over it. I realize Windows won't let me do this so my question is what would be the exact walk through to do this in maybe Gparted without messing up my Windows Installation. Thanks in advance!

your gonna have to delete the second partition and create a new primary. deleting the primary partition means the pc wont be able to run the inital boot sequence to find the o.s. as the data is now missing. so you have no options other than making the whole disk raw and creating a new single primary partition.

Yeah I've used easeus partition master before I was thinking I could probably just clone the partition and then just transfer it over. I've seen some other threads of people doing this but from two different drives, so I think it might work.....

That's the third time that you've posted the same thing in the past hour, without any explanation as to why. Why would anyone download and install 3rd party software to manage their partitions if they are not already having problems with their partitions and if they did, why would they not use partition software that has a long standing and high reputation rather than something with a title that no one has heard of and that is just two generic words like "partition wizard"? It's almost guarunteed to be infected with something.

If you are referring to the product by the also suspiciously named "company" <Spammer removed>, then I can warn any users of this forum that I've just spent the last two evenings trying to help a user who DID use this software and lost the entire contents of his hard drive as a result.

You Sir, are a Charlatan!
