Oh well i really need some help to give my windows vista partition more space!
I have tried several apps and so far no one worked because they cant access disk in vista its blocked (Acronis Disk Director Suite,
EASEUS Partition Manager PRO 2.0, Paragon Partition Manager Professional 9.0 + Recovery CD Image Pro 9, this last one i cant even see the disk in DOS)
Anymore app that can help me? (dont ''give'' the vista own partition program) I still have this one to try -> Gparted.
Ty in advance Crying or Very sad
