    I have 500 GB HDD separated into 100 GB partitions and i have a partition in which each and every file is important so i have secured it with bit-locker........one day i wasn't at home and my small cousin clicked the format option but that was my luck that my brother was there to cancel that process......but when i try to open that drive it shows you can only access this drive only after formatting it and i'm afraid that formatting button should accidentally be triggered.

    How to move Windows 7 boot/Bitlocker partition to the end of a drive
  • Daniel Plaisted

    I upgraded from a 250 GB hard drive to a 1.5 TB hard drive. I cloned the data from the old drive onto the new drive. Now I want to expand my main partition (C:) to take up the additional space. Unfortunately, there is a 300 MB partition directly after the C: partition, which I believe is the Bit Locker boot drive.

    Is there a way to move the 300 MB partition to the end of the available space so that I can expand the C: partition? Or is there some other way to get the C: drive to take advantage of the additional space without formatting and reinstalling?

    You can boot a GParted boot CD which will let you move the 300 MB partition to the end and expand C.
