I resized the NTFS to free up 23gb, it's unallocated between the 2 partitions but I can't resize the FAT32 to use this unallocated 23gb. I've tried creating the 23gb into primary/fat32 but it just sits by itself and the FAT32 partition still won't budge, I can't even increase or decease it by 1kb. Why is the FAT32 partition stuck? i37.tinypic.com i37.tinypic.com	Vicx (11114)

Worked for me (but then I did not have FAT32) Misty :2cents:	Misty (368)

I'll give Easus a go.	Vicx (11114)

Then create a new partition out of the free space and re-clone the data back to the new H partition	Terry Porritt (14)
