Resize the system partition

Hello,

How can I resize the boot or system partition?

After reinstalling Vista, the old system Disk C became bootable... now, I
can't resize it...

From the Disk Management Help:

"For logical drives, boot, or system volumes, you can extend the volume only
into contiguous space and only if the disk can be upgraded to a dynamic
disk. For other volumes, you can extend the volume into noncontiguous space,
but you will be prompted to convert the disk to dynamic."

Perhaps it might help if you described the drive size and free space.

You need to use a third party partitioning utility such as BootItNG
from

Good luck

I recomment Freeware EASEUS Partition Manager Home Edition. It supports
Windows Vista now and works well in resizing partitions.

If there is unallocated space around the partition, you can use diskpart
command to extend partition without pay. However diskpart command cannot
resize boot partition.

For running Windows xp/vista, you can 'resize boot partition with
Acronis Disk Director Suite'
(). Or you can also
try some freeware like Paragon Partition Manager Express, Ranish
Partition Manager etc.

For running Windows server, this article tells us some 'free methods to
resize server partition '

applications upgrade and more free space may also optimize the
performance of the computer.
