Darren. If you do plan to change partition size later be aware that data on the 
partition being changed can be destroyed in the proccess. Back up before doing 
it.

Hi all.

Many thanks for all the assists.

I moved the default location for the My Documents folder to the larger 
partition, so all's good now.

I'll look at the partition resizing when I need it, but it's good to know it 
can be done within Windows 7 itself.

Cheers
Darren

I've never seen a computer where My Documents wasn't on the system
partition.  I think that's a Windows default.   Maybe you can adjust
specific programs like Word, Excel, whatever to save docs to a different
drive/partition.  But I don't know how you'd do it.  So, maybe making the
system partition bigger is your best option.
Is this your music computer?  If so, you're going to want your stuff
that's not on the system drive to be on a separate physical drive.
Partitions don't matter where this stuff is concerned because the same
physical media is spinning, assuming you don't have solid state drives, to
get what you want.  Bryan, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Subject: [ddots-l] OT resizing a hard disc partition


Hi folks.

I've just bought a new system with a 2 terabyte hard disc.

It is currently partitioned so that 60GB is held for Programms etc and the
rest is for data and files.

For some reason it has been set up so that the regular documents and
settings, my documents, my music etc is on the C drive with the operating
system and programmes, and the larger partition is simply acting like a
blank disc.

How can I either...

1.  Set up the hard drive so that documents and settings etc are on the
larger partition.  Or...

2.  Resize the partition so that the C drive has more space.

Any other ideas would be really appreciated.

If it makes a difference, it is running Windows 7 64 byt.

Cheers
Darren
