Good day to all,
I am about to format my PC and my partitions are creating quite a hassle for me. To begin, this is my setup:
- 2 x 72 Gigs Western Digital Raptor 10k in Raid 0
- 1 x Hitachi 500 Gigs storage drive
Partitions(please don't ask how my PC ended up this way):
- 144 Gigs for Windows Vista (WD drives Raid 0)
- 135 Gigs for Windows 7 (Hitachi)
- 330 Gigs for Storage (Hitachi)
As you can see, it's quite a mess and I do not use Vista anymore. I want to Install Windows 7 on my Raid 0 along with the whole 144 Gigs so i'll just clear the vista partition(no problem here).
Here is my problem. I want to clear my 135 Gigs that is currently on my EXISTING copy of windows 7 and ADD this amount to the storage folder. So the math is 330 Gigs + 135 Gigs = a whole lot of storage for me
. So what I want:
- 144 Gigs for Windows 7 Raid 0
- 465 Gigs for storage: to achieve this, do i need to go into manage/Disk Management and somehow right click on my 330 gigs (after formatting the 135 gigs) and extend it somehow. I learnt this in college but things pass with time. Thanks for your time and posts!
