i am sorry if i posted this in the wrong place.

if i have a partition setup like

+ ------------------------ + ---------------------------- +
|      partition 1         |          partition 2         |
+ ------------------------ + ---------------------------- +

and i want to shrink partition 1 and extend partition 2 (into where partition 1 was), can i do it? i rmb that i can only extend a partition to the right? eg

+ ------------------------ + ---------------------------- + ------- +
|      partition 1         |          partition 2         |   ->    |
+ ------------------------ + ---------------------------- + ------- +

i think i tried using windows 7 built in partition manager, will using gparted or a "full" partition manager help?

You can do it easily using an external bootdisk,like the freeware Partition Wizard Bootdisk. The image can be downloaded from here:

You need of course to build the bootdisk by burning the downloaded image into a CD with any .iso burning app.

Can I burn it with ANY .iso burning app, including as an example the Freeware IMGBURN:

or should I use "Nero" ?

Hi jaclaz!

You are right. It was a simple "lapsus calami", and has been corrected.

Thanks!
