Application to change partition size

[snowdog]

Hello,

One of my relatives has a problem with his C:\ drive being to small, so I want to nib off some of the D:\ drive and add that space to the C drive. I know disk manager but his windows Vista is SOOOO slow, I'd prefer to do it with a 3rd party app, prefferably a bootable one.


So, is this possible:

- Remove about 10-20 GB's from THE START of the D:\ partition ( and obviously, move that data forward if there is any data there).
- Add that space to the c:\ drive


What application is best for this ? Can I do this in Ubuntu for example ?
If I do this in windows this will take me HOURS due to the slowness of that guy's system.

It will take a while. Backup important data before you resize.

.

This is a problem, backing it up first will take at least an hour, and if resizing will take as long too, then there's no point, is there no quick way to do this, eg. within 30 minutes ?

MEH I just disabled system restore for now and told him to just buy an SSD in the near future.
Few g's of space back.


Don't understand some of the pre-built pc's of people, who in their right mind makes the c:\ partition only 39 GB ?
At least the ''users'' folder is on the d:\ drive, but still, I don't get it.
