how safe it is to re-partition a hard drive?
My hard disk has two drives C-390gb & D-74gb, both primary partitions with NTFS file system. i want to increase the size of my D drive and allocate the minimum required space to C: to run Windows. i have windows7 ultimate 64-bit.
i wanted to know how safe it is to do this. very recently i lost the complete data on C: which included the all s/w installers, documents, personal data etc and i had to reinstall windows. now i want to save all my data on D: and hence want to increase the size.
when i right click D: in disk management, there is no option to extend it. also, there is an option of formatting. does that mean that D: is not formatted?
i cant afford to take any major risks, since i do not have windows installation cd. also dont have any external drive for backup. any help is highly appreciated.
