Wow, I've totally missed this. Since when has that functionality been
available in Vista? And more importantly: has anyone used it
successfully or had problems with it? I'm gonna need at least 5GB more
for my RC1 installation when it's released to us CPP users. And here I
was looking for a copy of Partition Magic I seem to recall I bough some
5 years ago or so.
Vista has the capability of resizing the system disk. It can be done live
or from WinRE. When shrinking the System partition, it uses defrag to move
everything it can to the front of the partition and then reports how much
can be released based on the last system file that cannot be moved.
Everything is transactional so you know what is possible before committing
to the change.
Have do you know if it's possible to expand a partition that is not the
last. That is, if I have two partitions (C: and D:, in that order) and
first shrinks D: can I then expand C:?
