Get a Mini Asus laptop came with 250gb HD and original partition to 100gb for Win7 system and 120gb for storage. The remain 15gb shown on drive manager not active and not access able.

What I want to marge 120gb storage partition to 100gb win7 system partition with delete 100gb partition or format win7 system files is it possible?? Win7 disk manage doesn't seems let me do so. Maybe I miss some things or is any program can use?

If not, I need to clone the win7 partition to separate drive and repartition the drive and clone it back.

So.. please advice. Don't want disassemble the mini notebook.

Thanks in advance.

All you need is a Win98 or WinME Bootdisk with 2nd HDD Formatted in 32MB Fat32 BackUp Partitions containing DOS Ghost.exe FDisk.exe Format.com and Delpart.exe.

1/ Save Ghost BackUp Partition Images (NOT a Disk Image) to the Second HDD shutdown and disconnect the 2nd HDD. Do NOT forget the Windows FAT 32 Boot partition.

2/ DOS Boot using the WinME Bootdisk BUST all Partitions on the original HDD using Delpart.exe and ReBoot

3/ On the DOS ReBoot enter FDisk.exe and rebuild the Partitions they way you want and Format them and shutdown.

4/ Re-attach your 2nd HDD containing your back up images, DOS Boot and run GHOST.exe to dump your BackUp images onto your respective Partitions.

5/ Shut down and disconnect the BackUp HDD with you BackUp Images and Boot into Win with your Original HDD Partitioned the way you want.

GHOST versions of 7.5 and greater will automatically dump NTFS and Linix Tabled Partitions into none formatted or partitions already containing Data. I haven't tried Ghost imaging using GPT Tables.

Other then DOS Ghost.exe, I never trust All in One 3rd Party OS BackUp and Partitioning utilities. You can be sure of results if you perform each step separately.

Keep in mind that FAT32 is generally limited to 32MB Volumes. There are methods to extend FAT32 over this limit but I've had no use for it considering all you have to do is Browse to the Next Partition in DOS and Span GHO Images at say 701MB's which can be burnt to DOS Bootable CD's for smaller systems.

For a 1.32MB Dos APP GHOST.EXE is extremely powerful and simple to use with a little DOS script knowledge.

Hi,don't worry about this,i have already done this before,i do it by myself,it a piece of cake.Perhaps,it's not difficult for you to merge 120gb storage partition to 100gb win7 system partition with delete 100gb partition.There is a free partition software called AOMEI Partition Assistant that can totally help to solve your problems.If you don't know how to use it to merge your partition and delete your partition,you can refer to this:
memrge partition:
http://www.disk-partition.com/help/merge-partition.html
delete partition:
http://www.disk-partition.com/help/delete-partition.html

Haha... I listen to your method and download that AOMEI prog and Merge my 120gb storage partition to 100gb Win7 system partition. Don't know what when wrong. After reboot, it can boot in Win7. I can not even access to BIOS on this Asus Netbook.

After I merge the 120gb partition to 100gb Win7 system partition. I can see all files and folder in the drive name C drive. I when on and reboot and now.. It keep as to select the device to boot. I'm looking to access to bioss to figure what went wrong. I press F1 and that's way to access bios but not able to.

Now.. I read there's EFI partition under win7 starter edition. Is that anything I can do to access there or even my bioss to figure what's going on.

I able to access the bios now. I'm figure that much mess up the boot up win7 system files. Or the bios on this Asus netbook config not handle larger then 100gb drive partition.

I need to disassemble and remove the drive out and clone the win7.

Haizz... what're unlucky day..
