Partition Question - Making 1 bigger, the other smaller

ergonomics · 25 Mar 2008 at 22:13

So i've got one hard drive that's partitioned. But i'm running out of space on one partition, and i want to make it bigger by taking the space off the other drive.

Is this possible? If so, how? Will i have to format? Can it be done in the BIOS or with DOS or will i need something like partition magic or something?

Appreciated!

You can't resize on-the-fly without a package such as Partition Magic as far as I am aware. If you don't care about the data that you currently have then you can certainly delete and resize partitions then format but obviously you don't get to keep what you have as is.

I'd recommend Acronis (not the babies

) used Acronis the other day it's a piece of cake.
