Move a partition to unallocated disk space

  • To move a partition to unallocated disk space:

    1. Click Partitions > Resize / Move.

    2. On a disk map, current size of the partition is displayed at the top of the dialog box.

    3. Move the mouse to the pane that symbolizes the partition you have selected, when the cursor become a cross crux, drag it front and back, the value of the unallocated space before and after are changed synchronously. Also, inputting the number in the two fields directly can change the position of the partition, and using the corresponding up-down button of the two can make a jiggle.

    Tips:
    Take special care when moving an operating system partition and its boot code location. The OS might stop booting. For example, Windows NT 4.0 and earlier versions limit boot code location to the first 2016MB.

    After Moving/Resizing the partition with restore point, you may lose the restore point created by "System Restore" before.

    For Windows 7, if the partition you want to Move/Resize has backup image files create by the backup utility built-in windows 7 (Control Panel- System and Security - Backup and Restore), after the operation, to restore image in the partition is available. However, if the partition is the backup location specified by the users through Control Panel- System and Security - Backup and Restore, the location will not be available and will show a red cross in Control Panel- System and Security - Backup and Restore. Reallocating the backup location is the solution for this issue.
