HDD Partition software

Depending on what you are doing, you may not be able to do everything in one re-size task.  I think PM would require you to first shrink one of the partitions, then Apply.  Then increase the other partitions and apply.

With a secondary non-boot drive, you should be able to do that without rebooting.

This is a unformatted new drive.

Some of the tools listed at lifewire gave the impression that there tool did allow you to do what I was wanting....but not sure :???:

I do not think it would be a wise idea to clone a failing HDD.
As of now, this drive is clunking badly.

Getting error reports:
[05] Reallocated Sector Count:                                                  100/10, Worst: 100 (Data = 19, 0, 0)

Number of Reported Uncorrectable Errors:                                        3

Hi All,
Drive is up and running.
Have Acronis add disc, refused to set right size, bailed.
Tried Windows, wants me to convert TB to Mb um no!
Installed EaseUS Partition Master Free Edition, got every thing set up in que, want's money for free version...no.
Installed MiniTool Partition Wizard Free, BINGO [tup]. Did exactly what I wanted to do.
Set up your partitions, each one goes into que, when done, hit execute, DONE.
Had 1 ad,clicked "dont show again", that was all.

So for any one that is looking for a partition tool that works like this, try it. I'd put a link, but it will probably get deleted!
Thanks again.
