1 Answer
I used a GParted Live CD.
- BACK UP YOUR SYSTEM. If anything goes wrong you could lose your data.
- Shut down and boot from the live CD.
- Start the default GParted Live OS. Accept defaults or specify options as needed.
- Once GParted has booted, right-click the partition to expand and select Resize/Move.
- Resize or move the partition as needed and click Resize/Move.
- Click Apply and wait for the resize to complete.
- Reboot the machine back into Windows. Windows will check your drive for consistency. Let it run, it should succeed and reboot your computer.
- Windows then prompted me that it finished installing new devices and needed to restart, so I restarted.
- Check your boot partition size. You can run diskmgmt.msc to do this easily.
- Did it work? Success!
