Redistribute Free Space Wizard

The Redistribute free space wizard spreads the free space on a hard disk evenly across partitions. Free space refers to unused space within partitions and space that is not allocated to any partition. You can redistribute free space on one hard disk at a time. You cannot redistribute free space across several disks.

For information about redistributing free space without the wizard, see “Resizing and Moving Partitions” on page 29.

Merge Partitions Wizard

The Merge Partitions wizard helps you merge two adjacent FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partitions. You choose two partitions, and one will be expanded to include the second. The contents of the second partition are added as a folder inside the first partition.

Norton recommends that you run a file check (such as CheckDisk or ScanDisk) on the partitions to be merged before running the wizard and that you run DriveMapper to update drive letter references after merging partitions. The wizard will prompt you to run DriveMapper automatically.

Copy Partition Wizard

The Copy Partition wizard helps you duplicate a partition. The copy is the same size and file type and contains the same data as the original. When you copy a partition, you specify the hard disk and the unallocated space where you want to place the copy. If necessary, the wizard will resize neighboring partitions to create sufficient space to perform the copy.
