I have a 128 GB SSD that came with 2 partitions. The primary C one is
about 95 GB and the other is approximately 23 GB or so. I have deleted
the small partition and so now have that space available. Using
Partition  assistant I can resize C to about 119 GB but following the
operation the drive will not boot. I have a second bootable drive for
this Win7 machine and so boot from that so I can use JAWS to perform
the necessary expansion on what normally is the primary C drive. I
simply connect that to the machine through a USB port. This way I have
speech throughout the process. I believe you can do it with C drive
running but operation won't be done until the next boot up and then
you have no idea of how long or where the process is as it is being
done prior to Window's booting thus giving speech through JAWS. I've
done this twice with same results. Partition assistant says the
operations was completed successfully, but when I hook the drive back
up to boot from it the boot portion must get corrupted as Windows says
it cannot find a boot device. As soon as I put the image back on it it
is fine. I have even tried putting that image on a spare drive and
carry out the resize but get same result. Partition assistant claims
you can resize the primary boot drive but I can't seem to do it.

Suggestions?

 

Best,

Al
