Darren. Because you're running Windows 7 then, you can use the built in
diskpart tool that ships with Windows 7 to resize partitions etc. Or, you
can go into computer management, storrage, disk management, then, tab to the
list view, arrow to the partition that you want to alter, press the
applications key and choose extend volume from the menu. Note: the reverse
is also true. Meaning that you can also shrink volumes, just by choosing
that option from the menu.

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
