How to extend a boot partition?



We can extend a boot partition and there is only one free utility which can do it for for you on all types of Windows OS. Its Dell EXTPART utility. The help file can be found at thislocation. Below are the steps one needs to follow:
1) To extend the boot partition you need to have space free just next to the boot drive.
2) For example of c drive is of 10 GB and you wish to extend its size, your drive D partition has to be deleted. Do take a backup of your data before deleting a partition.
3) then you need to run the extpart tool.
4) Extend the drive.
5) Reboot the system.
6) You'll see that the drive has been extended.
