Hello,

I installed a 1 Tb hard drive some time ago and partitioned it into 3 sectors. I now want to resize those sectors as the "c" drive is in need of more SPACE. How can this be done safely with Windows XP and how can I display my current sector sizes please ?

At 80 years of age I need help !Here's one option for you: http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm. You need to download it and then install it and RUN it to resize your partitions. Hello Soybean and many thanks for your suggestion. You will see from my question that my Operating System is Windows XP and I wonder if the suggested software will be compatible ?

Certainly appreciate all help !!

I BELIEVE it's never a good idea to re size partitions without backing up the data first. If there is any problems with the partition structure the re size either won't work or will corrupt the data . Also if the power is lost at certain stages this can cause problems. If possible perhaps get another 1 TB harddrive and image the old drive to the new with re size of the partitions. For this I would use Ghost but this isn't free. There are other free PROGRAMS LIKE g4linux but they are complicated to use but will achieve the same result.
By doing the change to another drive you will still have the original if something goes wrong.
PS If you are going to use ghost to help avoid mistakes either get a drive from a different make or different size to the 1 TB .
