Let's say you wish to increase your data partition by 50 GB. First you decrease your system partition by 50 GB. Right click the system drive let's call it disk 1 for typing purposes and reduce it's size by 50 GB by simply subtracting 50 from it's current size. I don't mean to be flippant but it's simple first grade math. Now to increase disk 2 by 50 simply 0 out the unallocated space and add 50 to the drive in question. It does not do it for you so a little mathematics is involved. I'm thinking that it is so simple most people thought it was more involved and it slipped right past them, sorry but it is really that easy. The only clicking you need to do is at first just to open up the context menu on what ever drive you wish to work on at that particular moment. I might have some time next week to do an audio on this program which may clear some things up.

Hi David and all. I have read the steps below but I still don't see how do do it. I am trying as I said to do the same thing in reverse in other words I wish to move some space from my data drives and put it on the C drive. I will put some questions & comments in the below text.

Do you mean you left clicked on the the D drive or what ever it's letter is for that particular drive to open it? > and copied the amount of unallocated space and added > it to the size of my existing data partition.

As I say not sure how you reassigned the unallocated space to the disk. > Partition magic would automatically take space from another partition > when you wanted to > increase a given partition but at least for me this program doesn't.

Max. PS if I don't reply for a time I will be away for the next 3 days.
