Resizing partitions

[tommycockles]

hello. i have a new pc which has 1tb of space........ on the c drive theres 322 gb of space free out of 370 ( i have some downloaded programs etc on that), the d drive for data has 540gb free out of 540 ( obviously none on that).. i have a lot of flac music files and basically want to shrink the c drive by say 100gb and increase the d drive by 100gb. What is the best way for me to do this ?

thank you

1) run chkdisk on your c:
2) defrag your c:
3) boot from an ubuntu or fedora liveCD
4) use the built in tool Gparted to resize your partitions. all done.

If you're using Windows 7, you can use the built-in partition manager. Type "disk management" into your start menu search field and hit enter. Now you're in the Disk Management console. Since your D: partition is empty, just delete the D partition. Now you can just shrink your C: partition to the desired size and reformat the remaining free space back into your D partition.
