resize drives

[shouvik]

======


i HAVE 2.1 gb h DISK

WITH

C: drive = 1000 mb
d: drive = 1000 mb


Now i have some important data about 300 mb in drive d: which i can not
delete.

Now i want to increase the size of c: to 1400 MB and decrease the size of
d: to 600 mb.

I went to fdisk

and it said "you can not delete primary partition when extended partition
exists."

I moved the 300 mb important data to C:

and if i now delete d:, then its ok.

but i can't delete C: now to resize it because c: contains the important data

but how to make the resizing? as described earlier.

Try using a program such as Partition Magic instead.

There is always a risk element in these programs.

The sure shot way, if you can afford, is reformatting.

 Raptor:

I downloaded partition magic from here

It was a  long download (22.7 MB)

After downloading when i clicked on the setup.exe file,

I got this message:


"Error reading setup initialization file"

Is there any other shorter download?

[vibhor_agarwalin]

Try redownloading, I think it got corrupted midway.

[shouvik]

Hi it is very large in size and almost took two hours to download

[vibhor_agarwalin]

I can reduce it to 10 mins.

Use some download accelerators like DAP.

AGAIN DOWNLOADED AND AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM

:-/  :-/

[size=18]This time downloaded with DAP[/size][/b][/color]

Installer is most likely corrupted. Don't use download accelerators.

Combining important data and resizing drives in the same sentence is not the wisest approach, especially with a trial version of anything. BACK UP THAT DATA FIRST! Then you can play all you want.

[shouvik]

That means i cannot do anything else without using [size=24]fdisk [/size]again?

[GX1_Man]

You can try anything without fdisk, but backing up your data is a must first. Fdisk is the easiest solution, and you have all the tools for this already.
