Repartitioning a hard drive... for free.

Wow. What a FANTASTIC tool I just stumbled across!

So, my hard drive's free space was shrinking and had finally gotten to the point of impacting system performance. In short, we were teetering on the edge of DANGEROUS.

In the back of my mind I knew I had to do something and It dawned on me that I had a bunch of unpartitioned space on my drive but OH... THE HORROR!

It had been a while since I attempted a repartition but, let it be said now, the days of creating a boot disk, booting into some antiquated mystery DOS application fumbling about... well... those days are gone.

Enter Easeus.

How to:
1. Download and install the FREE Easeus Partition Master Home Edition (YES! FREE!)

2. When you open the app, you'll see rows representing your drives. Reight-click the drive you want to resize and select the "Resize/Move" option from the context menu.

Partition Master
3. Grab the right-side slider and drag it to the desired size.

4. Click the "Apply" button in the application toolbar.

Done.


Well done Easeus
I could not have been happier with the experience. Bravo to Easeus for creating such a speedy and easy application. If you need to repartition, this is the app.
