Successful Restore :: Need to resize partition

Thread needs solution

I was able to upgrade to a new harddrive in my Lenovo z60m by selecting to restore the whole disk rather than doing the partitions seperately. I am up and running with the new hard drive but because of the way I did it, my primary partition is still the same size as it was on my old hard drive. Is it safe to use software to resize my partition now that my new hard drive is running successfully or should I try to restore the partitions seperately so I can resize in the process? I'm not sure if it will boot properly that way. The first time I tried, it put my partitions in the wrong order regardless of me setting the restore order to be from the start of the drive. I am using True Image 2010.

The best, and free, partition manager I have ever used is Partition Wizard ver. 4.2.1. It can't get any easier than this. One can resize from the installed software, or create a bootable CD and resize from it.

If I were you I'd resize partitions rather than restore again. If the resize fails, you can still restore again.

Partition Wizard worked great and I am now completely upgraded to the new drive. Thanks for the help!
