So. I have a partition which is 50 Gb and another one which is 1 tb. All I want is to expand 50 gb partition taking some gb from 1 tb partition. How can I do that? Note: both partitions have data on it. I wanna do it without deleting data. I can delete it from 50 gb one if is really necesary. This is my games/steam partition. When I made it I was under impression that big games are on 6 floppy disk. Win 7. Both partitions on same HD. Help? |

You're kinda screwed, Bam. Problem is back-to-back partitions don't like being moved. The data at the start of your second partition is sat right where you want to expand the first partition, so it becomes very tricky indeed. Your best bet is to backup the second partition and then expand the primary partition to fill the disk and then copy your data back. Out of interest, why are you using partitions? If you have Win installed on 1st and programs (steam and games) on your second, you are utterly destroying your machines performance as disk operations across partitions on the same drive are monumentally slow. having installs on a separate physical drive from your OS is good, but separate partitions makes everything run like its buried in frozen treacle. I you really want to go ahead with the resize, I would suggest giving the CLI based DISKPART a whirl but its tricky. Beyond that, boot up a Linux distro from USB and use GRUB to try and sort it out. Chances are you'll lose the data on the second drive either way though |

This is what i'll do. System is on a diferent physical drive. I could put all on same drive because I wanna do some summer cleanup on my comp with a fresh reinstall of win. Do I get some visible improving? |
