Soooooo... I got two partitions on my 1st hard drive: system one with Win7 on it and the second one for data etc. Problem is, my system partiton is only 25GB and I got 5.8GB of free space left on it, which imho is a bit low.
I would like to increase the size of the system partition but I checked disk tools in Win7 and I can't do it there - is it possible at all without formatting, creating new partition and all that hassle? Any application that could do that?
Or maybe I should forget the idea and 5GB of free space is more than enough on the system partition (I got 3GB of RAM)?
Well 5gb is indeed more than enough, as long as you don't install anything else on it...
It's probably a good thing to defrag both partitions should you decide to resize it, and make a backup also!
resizing with a linux tool might break windows activation or even break the bootloader
be sure to have the w7 installation cd/usb handy so you can get to recovery console to repair the bootloader if need be
windows disk management actually can increase the system partition size to the right, but i don't know if it also works to the left
possibly not

Got even 6GB (made some cleaning) so I guess I won't bother with resizing if you guys say it's more than enough. I'm installing everthing on other drives anyway.
