Drive Partition

It is a bit complicated-

First of all you cannot partition the C partition, before doing a lot of moving of the other partitions.

You cannot move or, delete a partition that resides before the last partition.

It is a difficult process, and you have to start by delting/moving the last partition first, then the third, then the second partition.

Using Partition Wizard, or, a similar tool, it can be done. However, itis a little risky.

I have done it, and if you want to keep the recovery partition, (the 200mb could be the hard drive buffer, as it is being used ( disks used to be 8/16/32mb buffer)- or, it could be a link to the recovery partition. I am sorry I am a little out of date on this.

A drive's buffer is an amount of RAM on the drive to store frequently accessed data from the drive. Since RAM is faster at transferring data than the drive head operation, it increases the speed of the drive. The more buffer on the drive, the more data that can be stored in the cache to decrease the amount of physical drive operation. (These can be chips on the motherboard)

NOW IN STAGES IGNORE 200MB-LEAVE IT AS IT SHOULD NOT COUNT

Using partition wizard-

Click on the C partition, and click on move/re-size 

Use the slider to reduce the size of the C partition to allow for the extra partition (say 200gb, or, whatever)

click apply- It will show greyed out, until you do the next steps

Now select the hidden partition, and click move/resize, and slide it along to the end of the newly sized C partition

 then create a new partition in the remaining unallocated partition

Read through an old answer on majorgeeks that I was involved with- It worked -but read to the last entry from me.

This is what i've done my self

go to manage (right click my computer)

click on disk management to the left and your partitions will appear to the right

 

Right click on D: Drive box and select Delete Volume from the dropdown menu and the 29 GB will become unallocated , right click again and select delete partition>

 

Now right click the C: Drive box and select Extend Volume and continue till finish when you are done your C will be 29 GB MORE than it was before.

 

Now right click on C: Box again and select Shrink Volume and shrink the volume by the amount of space you want for your new D: drive in my case I left only 120 GB for the C and the rest I shrinked which was about 340 GB right on the new space and make new simple volume.

LEAVE the quick format so the new drive will be formatted>

 

with that you are done and you now have about 120 GB for C and about 340 GB for D; where you can now store your data in>

note not to touch what so ever the two hidden partitions>

 

also note the your onekey recovery will restore your system to the initial state ( shut down the laptop and after that hit the rescue button and keep the selection as is and your system will be restored to the new 120 GB C:

 

now copy your data from removable media to the d drive>

 

good luck to you>

 

Start > My Computer > RightClik > Manage (Computer Management screen will open) From the left pane click on Disk Management. Now you can see your Hard Disk Partitions. You may be noticed this. No problem. Now Right-click on Partition which have more than 200GB in size. See there will be option SHRINK and select to do so. Now a new window show you that how much space available for shrink. Now select ok for shrink. After completing the task You can see your big in size partition became small. And you can see another new space as unallocated. Don't do anything with this unallocated space.ok. Now right-click on partition Lenovo(D:) and select for extend. Now all the unallocated space will be added to Lenovo(D:) partition and your both partitions will have enough space. Be careful about your power supply. Restart and go for creating REPAIR Disk. Make a Backup also. Thanks.
