Sizing the Partition

*IMPORTANT: If you currently have files within the partitions you are resizing, you could lose these files. Back up the partitions that will be involved in resizing before making any changes.

When resizing a partition, you’ll need to:

1)Unlock the partitions that will be involved in resizing. Refer to “Locking/Unlocking Partitions” above.

2)Set the partition to CLEAR

This allows you to take space away from one partition and distribute it to others.

To set the SYSTEM to CLEAR, while in MODIFY mode:

i)Move the cursor to the SYSTEM column of the partition you want to resize.

ii)Press <return>.

iii)Use the arrow keys to toggle through the system options until you reach CLEAR.

iv)Press <return>

3)Set the partition size.

To select the size for a partition:

i)Move the cursor to the SIZE column of the partition you want to change.

ii)Press <return>.

iii)Select the size for the partition using the same keys that move the cursor.
