How To: Repartition Your Hard Drive For Free Without Formatting or Losing Data

Posted 04/27/2009 at 01:12:01pm

I followed the exact guidance here and it appeared to have worked perfectly, however, when I use Disk Manager in Vista to check the new partition layout:  Old:  500 GB drive, three partitions, 25, 50, 325 (where Vista was using 22 of the 25 GB of the OS partition hence the need to act to increase the OS partition size), New:  50,50,295, appears perfect, right?! Maybe wrong:

 When using Windows Explorer, the C: drive still shows 2.74 GB free of 25 (vice what should be 27.7 GB free).  Any ideas anyone?!  I need to install SP1 and don't want to act until Windows Disk Manager and Windows Explorer agree..arrgghh!
