| | How resize the partition Hi, I have this problem: My SATA hd with Vista 32 Ultimate is 160GB Maxtor. On this hd I've created 2 NTFS partitions: C:\ OS Vista32 Ultimate is 20GB D:\ programs 140GB Now is available the SP1 for Vista32 so I need to enlarge the C:\ to 30GB and D:\Programs to 130GB I want to low level format this hd and resize the partitions as above mentioned. I have a copy of backup on an external hd of these partitions created using the utility tool of Vista Ultimate. When I have resized the partitions,may I copy the 2 saved partitions from the external hd again on the hd formatted and resized? Thanks |

Get yourself Acronis Disk director if you want something reliable. You also need to allocate way more than 30gb too. Look to at least 60gb or you will find yourself having to resize again. www.acronis.com -- Mike Hall - MVP How to construct a good post.. http://dts-l.com/goodpost.htm How to use the Microsoft Product Support Newsgroups.. http://support.microsoft.com/default...help&style=toc Mike's Window - My Blog.. http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx |

| | RE: How resize the partition Symantec Partition Magic (Version 8) currently was the first on the scene in commercially successful EASY to use software and still works like a champ in Vista. It lets you choose nearly any desired result/sizing and even lays your data into the new structure. Can be had nearly free after rebates... m -- Technology "Alberto" wrote: Quote: > Hi, > > I have this problem: > > My SATA hd with Vista 32 Ultimate is 160GB Maxtor. > On this hd I've created 2 NTFS partitions: > > C:\ OS Vista32 Ultimate is 20GB > D:\ programs 140GB > > > Now is available the SP1 for Vista32 so I need to enlarge the C:\ to 30GB > and D:\Programs to 130GB > > I want to low level format this hd and resize the partitions as above > mentioned. > > I have a copy of backup on an external hd of these partitions created using > the utility tool of Vista Ultimate. > > When I have resized the partitions,may I copy the 2 saved partitions from > the external hd again on the hd formatted and resized? > > Thanks > > |
