Acronis True Image will let you restore to a different size partition. back it up, change partitions, restore. And it's freeware if you catch the periodic free downloads.

If a drive crashes, all partitions are lost, so it's not a safety feature. Drives are now so cheap that you can buy 2 or 3 and have real drives, not just partitions.

And that's why so many people have problems. If you have a single 1.5TB partition, how do you back it up and where do you put the backup? I suggest a SMALL boot partition. My win7 boot partition has 14GB of stuff on it...the partition is 24GB just because I didn't know how much bloat M$ would add when I set it up. I can back up my boot partition in minutes to another partition on the same drive. I'm protected against most malware. I can copy the backup image to two DVD's or one 8GB flash drive and protect against anything else. I can save the last dozen backups just in case something happend last month that I didn't catch till now. The "static" stuff, everything on the other partitions, is backed up ONCE on DVD . Let's see you do that with your 1.5TB partition. |
