Advice re Partition Magic

[Lee Bowman]

I have Partition Magic vs 7.01, and want to do the following:

Current setup: An 80 gig drive partitioned C:E: (20/30/30), and all
are formatted Fat32

This may seem unneccessary to ask, since this is a function of PM, but
sometimes better to ask than not. I am running out of room on drive
C:, and I'd like the drive to be re-partitioned in half (C: 40/40).
There is currently nothing on the middle partition D:.

If I use PM 7.01 to move the partition boundry, is there any risk to
the data on C: (however slight)?

I have a 30 gig drive I could put in to back C: up on, or is that even
necessary?

Best regards,
Lee

It's pretty straight forward. 2 steps, remove the C/D partition & merge the
two, move the remaining partition to 50%.
PM will tell you if it's not possible - eg, C & D are not the same format,
not enough room to perform any of the operations etc.

Delete the D: partition. Format the unused area ,formerly D:. Then
resize the C: partition to include the deleted D: Partition area.

Easiest way to do it is go to the Wizards menu and use it to "redistribute
free space".
