Managing disk partitions
Last response: in Storage
Hello,
I have compy with 2 equal partitions, C and D. The C partition volume is almost used in full, the D is unused.
I would like to resize them i.e. make the C 3/4 of the disk and D 1/4 of the disk hard drive space. The Vista computer manage does not let me do it.
I do not want to lose a data reformating hard drive.
A years ego I used to do so using AESEUS program (free), but can not find it now...

Hi there, and Welcome to Tom's Hardware!
The Aeseus Partition Master that you mentioned would be a great program for this situation. It has been highly rated.
If you are going to use it just this time, or rarely, the Home Edition (free) would be adequate.
As a matter of safety, anytime you are planning to manipulate partitions, don't forget to backup your data.

I think you should be able to do it.
In order for the C partition to expand, there has to be some room adjacent to it.
I think if you just delete the D partition which has nothing in it, you can then add to the C.
Just reducing the D will not work, because the released space will not be contiguous with the C.
