As a fair warning to the OP, whilst this is not an uncommon task, and will often be processed without issue, there is a risk of data loss, please take a backup of anything and everything that is important to you on that drive first.

And he should still have a good backup done, right before he starts messing with the partitions.
"oops, I clicked the wrong thing" is all too common around here.

that would have been smart... but i've already done it it went smooth. also i didn't have anything on it, i've just reinstalled windows

 


You are still messing with partition tables, a power cut during one of those, who knows where you'll end up. Not worth the risk.

I had a total data loss doing a defrag years ago.

i have a laptop so a power cut wouldn't have been too big of a thing
and yes i agree it would have been smart
