Ok so i thought i'd be clever and put w7 on a 20gb partition. Keep it separated like.

But i can't install ANY games, unaware to me is that games install quite differently on w7 than XP.

Is there a way round this? :p
 
It won't let me extend OS partition? I shrank the First hardrive by 50gb and now have that spare but still can't extend OS :/
 
The free space must be adjacent to the partition that you want to grow. In this case, D:\ is in the way.

You could copy the contents of D:\ to G:\ ( 222 GB free? ),
remove D:\,
grow C:\ to desired size,
recreate D:\ in the remaining space,
copy back to D:\ from G:\

There's things installed like steam/spotify etc. I assume these won't work after bein thrown around etc?
 
You can install them on another partition/drive yea but for some reason parts of the game have to be installed onto C:

If you extract anything it goes into your temp folder too, which is located on C:
