2 HDDs, swap partitions, resize, Win 7 & 8, ATI2013+
I've bought ATI 2013 with "plus" to be able to set up my partitions so in the hope
as I imagine it. And I don't want to lose my data and i don't want to re-install the operating system ...
I have the following constellation on my computer:
1. HDD 500GB
C: \ - 100MB (of windows)
D: \ - 465.7 GB / 167.6 GB used (Win 7)
2. HDD 1TB
E: \ - 831.5 GB / 319.1 GB used (data and programs)
F: \ - 100 GB / 65.19 GB used (Win 8)
If I boot normally I can choose the boot manager between Win 7 and Win 8,
everything runs fine.
I booted from the ATI CD and I backuped my System (on a USB HDD).
Now I want to restore the system as follows, and I'm not sure how to do that ...
1. HDD 500GB
C: \ - 100MB (of windows)
D: \ - 230GB / 167.6 GB used (Win 7)
E: \ - 230GB / 65.19 GB used (Win 8)
2.HDD 1TB
F: \ - 1TB / 319.1 GB used (data and programs)
Simply put, I want to have Win7 and Win8 on HDD1, each with half of the available capacity, and the complete HDD2 than one partition.
What should I do now when restoring to achieve this result?
Thanks for your help.

This might or might not complicate matters.
Have you considered converting either the Windows 7 or Windows 8 into a virtual disk (VHD)? This would solve your problem, but requires some thought as to which of the OS's you wish to virtualise and which boot manager to use. Personally I would use the W8 boot manager and if your version of W7 isn't Ultimate or Enterprise, convert that OS to the virtual environment.
