Partitioning Problems [+REP]

[scottish]

Sorry to steal your thread but im having partitioning trouble as well.

Basicly I used the recovery partition on my Dell to install windows 7, but after installing it I now only have like 500mb left on that partition. Is there any way I could take a bit off the vista partition and add it to the 7 partition?

Right click the partition then shrink in the disk management (open Computer management then click disk management, right click Vista partition click shrink. then put more into the 7.

You could shrink the vista one by about 10gb. Then use a program like partition logic to move the vista partition over to make space between the recovery and vista partition. Then expand the recovery partition.

Will that work for my problem aswell?

I have shrunk the vista partition my 7GB and its set as unallocated but when I right click the Windows 7 volume it doesn't let me press extend volume. Anyone know why?
