Two ways to skin that cat.
1: Buy Partition Magic. Costs money, but will solve this quickly and easily.
2: Use WinPE/BartPE
- Install a second HDD, an external HDD, or connect to a network share
- XCopy all of drive C: to one directory on that drive, XCopy all of drive D: to another (/HERKYO are the parameters you want to use)
- Repartition to your heart's content - use diskpart to partition the drive, assign letters (for use during PE only) and make them active
- Format the partitions
- Copy the contents from the first directory back to the first (C:) partition - repeat with D:
- Reboot (and remove the second drive if you were using one) - new larger partitions.
It's free if you use BartPE or have a Windows SA license that includes PE. Bit more work, but free.
