The problem of lack of free space on a hard disk partition is known to many users. This topic is especially relevant for people who have decided to abandon Windows XP and use the Windows Seven OS.

Instructions
Step 1
If you haven't installed a new operating system yet, the surest way to expand your system partition is to do it during the Windows Seven installation process. Insert the 7 disc into your DVD drive. Turn on your computer and press Del. The BIOS menu will open in front of you.
Step 2
Find and navigate to Boot device priority. By manipulating the keyboard buttons, set your drive to the first line. Find the Save & Exit item and click on it. After restarting your computer, you will see the message Press any key to boot from CD. Press any key to activate boot from disk.
Step 3
The installation program of the Windows 7 operating system will start. When the window for selecting a partition for installing the OS appears, click the "Disk Setup" button. Select the partition that you want to expand and click the "Delete" button. Do the same for one more section.
Step 4
Find the item "Create" and click on it. Set the file system type and size of the future partition. If you have used all the free space of the hard disk to create a new partition, then click the "Next" button. If you need to add a new section, then repeat the algorithm described in this step.
Step 5
The obvious disadvantage of this method is that you lose all data on both partitions. If you need to expand the disk space without formatting, download and install Partition Magic.
Step 6
Run the program and select "Quick redistribution of space between partitions." Note that only an unallocated area can be “cut off” from a partition. Select the donor section and click the "Next" button. Indicate the section you want to enlarge. To start the process of redistributing free space, click the "Apply" button. Most likely, the program will continue to run in MS-DOS mode after restarting the computer.
