REDISTRIBUTE FREE DISK SPACE

Remember how many times you wished that your system partition would be just one GB bigger? There is no need to repartition the whole hard drive and reinstall the operating system for that anymore. You can easily and freely allocate free disk space among hard drive partitions with the new wizard. Normally, such changes require a whole series of single partition resize and move operations. The wizard will guide you through the process, determining, what should be done and completing a list of operations to be fulfilled.

Paragon Partition Manager provides an opportunity of increasing free disk space on one partition at the expense of unused space on others with the help of Redistribute Free Space Wizard. By default, the wizard adds to the target partition the 50% of unused space of other partitions, which have been selected to donate space. The user can manually control what part of unused space will be left on a partition. The wizard automatically recalculates the positions of the partitions and moves their contents to new locations.

The wizard allows the user to configure the settings and then start the operation in accordance with the entered parameters. Here the user sets the parameters of the operation defining:

The partition to enlarge. Select a partition, the size of which will be increased at the expense of other partitions. Blocks of free disk space, if any will be automatically added to the target partition.
The partition to donate. Choose any partition (not only adjacent) to donate free space if available. By default, the program leaves 50% of the unused space on a partition and removes another 50% to add it to the target partition, however the size to take can be customized by moving the slider at the bottom of the page.

After the operation is completed free space of the specified partition will be increased at the expense of unused space of the others.
