Partition Resize,Move,Rename and More..

Do you have a My Computer Windows that looks like this:

And if you are thinking that its because that you computer company intended to be like that, than you are wrong. They did it because its easier for them to just make a single partition and not waste time for creating some other partition. So if you want some more number of partitions, then people at Microsoft have taken care for it already. Just follow the steps:(This steps are for Windows 7 but all other Windows OS will have similar same steps)
1. Click on the Start button and open up your Control Panel.
2. Search for Administrative Tools and open it. 
3. Now search for Computer Management and double click it.
4. Go to Disk Management inside Storage.

I think all of you can take over from here but know that to resize the drives using this Windows Utility you'll have to format the whole drive. It you don't want that to happen keep reading.

So what to do if you want to resize the partition without having to format it? Well, you can use some thing not by Microsoft, of example Paragon Partition Manager. You can even download some other partition managers by just googleing for "Partition Manager"! But Paragon Partition Manager has a free edition which is more than enough for us. Just download it and it has a really great User Interface in which you can just just slide the bar between the drives to resize it, and just drag a drive to move it completely. Once you have rename, resized, or move your drives you'll have to apply the changes and most of the resize changes will ask you to restart the computer. During the time you computer boots up again, a BIOS kind of program will run which actually is working to get you Drive settings in place. It might take some time but its worth it as you wont have to delete the data from your Computer drives.
