Hi,

before installing Vista on my system my drives was partitioned.

I install Vista on a 20Gb partition. but now I'm always in red and only
1.6Gb is available.

I have try to extend the partition using the integrated partition extender,
but this doesn't works on the OS partition!

So, can I copy this boot partition on another drive? (if yes, how)
or does the acronis utility can resize the boot partition?

thanks for your guides.

Jerome.

Acronis Disk Director is the easiest way, but only the latest version
(Build 2160) works with Vista, so please check the Build before using
it.

Ignore the step--"copy".
You can resize partition through Partition Manager such as extend
partition, shrink partition directly.
And this tool is goof, and it has free edition, why not have a try? Why
not experience the superiority.
