Ok,
I want to have more disk space on C Disk, and well it shares Harddisk with my 2nd drive "E" and well i want to get some more space from E to C and I got the program "Powerquest" Partiontion 8.0"
so i tried ti resize the C drive so it could get 1 gb from E... But i can't modify it! Sad i can only resize the "drives" not the hole partition :S

So my final question is how do I give my C:\ 1 Gb extra from my E drive?
When i use the program PowerQuest Partitionmagic 8.0?
Please help only 100 mb available on the C drive (bloody Sims 2) Sad

BTW: Both C and E are NTFS Smile

I don't understand that. Do you have two partitions ( C and E ) on one drive, or do you have two harddrives?
Try to give more details: How many drives, what kind of partitions and how many logical drives, so we can help you Smile

In general it is possible to change the size of the partitions, it depends on what kind of partition it is (primary or extended) on how you do it.

Ok, maybe your partition with the logical drive e is an extended partition. In this case, you fist have to resize drive e (make it smaller). After that, you should be able to resize the logical partition itsself. And finally you should be able to resize the primary partition c.

As i said, you first have to make the logical drive in the extended partition smaller, before you can resize the partition itsself. That should work.

If i were you i'd get rid of the logical partition and just convert it to primary. Then you can resize to your heart's content.

the Free space is not the size without data, its the unpartioned amount of disk.

Set your new size to 2 gig lower than the actual size of your E partition.
Then you qill have 2 gig in "free Size"
then, edit your c partition, and you will notice the max possible size will have gone up 2 gig, set the new size to the max (it'll be the same as it is now + 2 gig) and let it do it's magic.

I have lookd at that picture and it can't work this way. As i said before, the first step is to resize the logical drive. Can you do this, or can you only shrink it for some KB aswell?
