How to Resize Windows Partitions A memo to recall every time you need to resize your Windows partition. Before editing the Windows partition, you should: 1) know what you are doing; 2) know what partitions are; 3) backup important data to an external medium; 4) run CHKDSK, where CHKDSK is your file system checking tool in Windows and it is used for fixing errors and displaying a status report; 5) defrag the partition; 6) after shrinking the Windows partition, you should reboot once ( or twice ) into Windows. This allows the Windows system to automatically rescan the newly-resized partition and write changes to its own bootloader configuration files. One last detail to remember: a Windows partition should be at least 20 Gb ( recommended 30 Gb for Vista/Windows 7 ).
