Hey guys...

i failed at partitioning my hard drive and rather than creating 2 partitions to = 500gb i ended up with 1 349gb and 1 99mb partition i was wondering is there anyway to reverse this? as i have only 27GB left

many thanks in advanced

(ps on windows 8 pro 64bit)

I'm assuming you mean 99 GB and 349GB.

Use disk management to resize your partitions.

Right click computer, click manage, click disk management on the left hand side.

Select the large partition right click on it and choose shrink. It will prompt you how much you want to shrink it by enter an amount and continue.

Select the partition you want to increase, right click and choose expand. then follow the prompts.

If you're trying to change the boot drive partition size you will need to use something else like minitool partition

*Edit* you can also search disk management on the start screen click the settings button on the right and open it that way.
