Adjust existing partitions? (B&R 2011 Advanced Free)

Hi -

I bought a pre-built audio recording computer some years ago (XP) with an audio recording/editing program called Cubase pre-installed into the C drive. Subsequent versions of Cubase have grown in size over the years, and currently it is taking up too much of my space in the C drive, making it hard to run.


I'm wondering if I can/how to reassign 10-20GB from the "D" drive to the "C" drive. Page 56 of the User Manual makes me think I can't:

"4. The program allows creating new partitions only within blocks of un-partitioned space. It cannot convert a free space on an existing partition to a new partition".

I'd be grateful for any ideas on how to accomplish my task ... do I need another program?


Here are some screenshots of my system:

Windows XP SP2 (not going to SP3 for reasons of compatibility with some hardware drivers, and also software).

Thanks in advance!

 

Bumping -- thanks.

 

Just make a backup image of drive D and restore it, during the restoration adjust the partition size to have 20GB of free space before the partition.
after the restoration you will have 20GB of unallocated space between drives C and D, at this time you can adjust drive C partition size to include the extra free 20BG space.

 

Great, thanks, cincinnatijack. I didn't know if I was better getting the partition program, sounds like the one I have is just fine.

Thanks again!

 

My feeling is that with a program like B&R and Windows Disk Management most people really have no need for a partitioning program.
