Resize partition (Win vista)

[Minh Quân]

Hi all,
My vista's partition size is 40Gb, I need to enlarge it. How to resize it
and my data isn't lost.
Thanks.

Hi,

Run diskmgmt.msc from the start/search line. Examine the drive, you will
need free space to exist immediately after the volume that you want to
expand. If there is, then simply right click the volume and expand will be
one of the options. This is a non-destructive routine, but it doesn't excuse
not backing up your data in case of problems.

If there is no free space adjacent to the volume, you will likely need to
use a third party product like BootIT NG to do this work, as you will not
only have to shrink and adjacent volume (something you can do with disk
manager), but also need to slide them to arrange the free space accordingly.
This is not something you can do with disk manager.

'Course, if it's a 40GB HD, you can't enlarge it.

Run diskmgmt.msc from the start/search line.

Or if you prefer to mouse to it: right click 'Computer', select 'Manage'
Then click "Disk Managment" under Storage.
