[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1250966, member: 24160"] iPartition can non-destructively resize a partition. However, any time you are playing with partitions with data on them, you [B]"need"[/B] a backup. No backup in combination with data that you don't want / can't afford to lose, you are already playing with fire. Go get yourself another drive. My recommendation, no backup, don't go about resizing partitions. But then, no backup, you'll already lose everything when that drive dies. On the other hand you could be in the 90+% that is able to resize the partition without any issue. You takes your chances. [/QUOTE]
