Move | Your Windows NT 4.0 system (SP 6 or higher) partition cannot |
(continued) | start past 4 GB, or Windows NT will not be bootable. |
| IMPORTANT! Exercise caution when moving a bootable |
partition. Operating systems can become unbootable if moved beyond certain boundaries. For more information, see “Creating Bootable Partitions” on page 38.
Resize | 1 Place the pointer on the left or right partition handle. | |
| The pointer changes to | . |
2Drag the handle until the desired partition size is reached.
You can also resize the partition by typing new values in the Free Space Before, New Size, and Free Space After boxes or by clicking the arrows next to the boxes. The values you enter may change slightly to values supported by the drive’s geometry. The arrow buttons resize the partition by the minimum increment, allowing you to make very fine adjustments. Changes are reflected in the disk map.
To make a partition smaller, unused space must exist within the partition. To enlarge a partition, there must be unallocated space adjacent to it. For additional information about resizing partitions, refer to “Notes about Resizing Partitions” below.
IMPORTANT! (Windows NT only) Resizing your NTFS system partition over 7.8 GB may render your workstation unbootable. If you resize an NTFS system partition over this limit by accident, you can recover your system by using the PartitionMagic rescue disks to resize the NTFS system partition below 7.8 GB.
If you know your disk has no bad sectors, Skip bad sector checks in Preferences to make resize and move operations faster.
PartitionMagic changes the Free Space Before, New Size, and Free Space After values to show how the partition size is affected.
