    I have paragon partition manager and not a clue how to do this.
    I have just recently formatted my computer and I have 55.4GB of my Primary Disc (the one I load Windows 7 off) and 153.9GB of unallocated space and 80GB of my backup stuff.

    I want to make the 55.4GB partition have the 153.9GB of free space, making it 209GB. (I will worry about the backup 80GB later)

    How do I do this? I have just got Paragon Partition Manager and when I click on Local Disc C, and click 'resize' it won't allow me to make it any bigger than 55.4GB.

    Help Please.

    Thanks.

    How are the partitions arranged? Are all partitions primary partitions?

    The local disc C is primary, and then backup is logical.

    Edit: Done it. I had to make the primary (local disc C) logical, and then it let me do it.

    Thanks. :)

    You need to thrink the extended partition first.

    Yep, that's what I would have done, but the way he did it works just as well.
