Hi all,

I have Win7 installed on a 100Gb partition (C:) and the rest of the 1TB drive is D:
C: is almost full and I have space on D: so I want to extend C: and shrink D:
Using Disk Management, when I right click C: the extend option is greyed out.
I assume that I need to shrink D: first and then the extend option for C: will be available.
So my question is - am I correct in thinking that this is the best way to go and am I right
to trust Disk Management for this task?
Obviously I'll backup everything including the kitchen sink before attempting these manoeuvers.

Many thanks,

David.

I used it once - its free and did the job ok.

EDIT: Obviously backup everything first (of course!)
