Title: Re-partitioning HD
Post by: Maldonado on March 27, 2010, 18:40:22 PM

Back in the day I would quite happily just reformat my HDD to do this, but I have ~700GB of data on my TB HDD and I only ever made a 30GB system partition, which is now full of Vista. I dont have a spare HDD to copy this much data to, so how do I go about re-partitioning it? The built in Windows malarky wont do it, I remember PMP7 was the daddy some years back... Whats good to use now?

I like this one http://www.softwarecasa.com/partition-manager.html?gclid=CJ3gp8rN2aACFY0rDgod0VkEBg

There is one older version on Hirens bootcd which I use if partitioning.

Only tool you need - we use it for servers, HyperV clients, everything. Its never failed us yet - or thrown us an error. Great piece of software.

Tried to run this twice, it errored both times whilst reading through the original data :/

Might just install Windows 7... Whats that like for HD space?
