Move/Resize Partition falls into to three scenarios:
Extend Partition
Shrink Partition
Move Partition

Scenario 1: Extend Partition
If there is an unallocated space neighboring to the partition to be extended, you can direct extend partition.

1. Launch MilfordSoft Partition Star.
2. Select and right click the partition to be extended, click "Move/Resize" from the drop-down menu. (If the unallocated space is behind the target partition, drag the right end of the partition handle rightwards to the largest extend; If the unallocated space is before the target partition, drag the left end of the partition handle leftwards to the largest extend). After that, click "OK".

3. Click "Apply" to execute pending operation.

If no unallocated space for extending partition is available.
1. Launch MilfordSoft Partition Star.

2. Shrink an existing partition to get an unallocated space for extending partition.

Example 1: If the existing partition is behind the target partition which is to be extended, drag the left end of the partition handle rightwards to a desirable extend;

Example 2: If the existing partition is before the target partition, drag the right end of the partition handle leftwards to a desirable extend. After that, click "OK" and you will get an unallocated space.

3. Follow steps of "If there is an unallocated space neighboring to the partition to be extended, you can direct extend partition".

Scenario 2: Shrink Partition
1. Launch MilfordSoft Partition Star.
2. Select and right click the partition you want to shrink, click "Move/Resize" from the drop-down menu.

3. Drag the left end of the partition handle rightwards or right end of the partition handle leftwards to shrink partition. After that, click "OK".

4. Click "Apply" to execute pending operations.

Scenario 3: Move Partition to extend partition
In scenario 1, we have said that we can directly extend partition if there is unallocated space neighboring to the partition you want to extend. What if the unallocated space is not adjacent to the partition you want to extend? Now, we need to Move Partition.

Here we will show how to move the unallocated space behind E: to be adjacent to out target partition C: which is to be extended.

1. Launch MilfordSoft Partition Star.
2. Select and right click E: , click "Move/Resize" from the drop-down menu.

3. Drag the partition handle rightwards to make the unallocated nearer to the target partition you want to extend.

4. Now the unallocated space is behind D: and before E:. Select and right click "D:", then click "Move/Resize" from the drop-down menu.

5. Drag the partition handle rightwards and then the unallocated space will be adjacent to C:. Now you can extend the C: with the unallocated space.
6. Click "Apply" to execute pending operations.

Wipe partition with MiniTool Partition Wizard How to wipe partition? It is not difficult.

If the files that will be deleted are in Partition H:, we need to wipe Partition H:. Select Partition H: and click "Partition" in tool bar. Select "Wipe Partition" in the drop-down list to enter the window of "Wipe Disk or Partition". There are five different wiping styles provided. The top two styles are quick but of low security. The below three are of high security but slow. We select wiping styles according to practical needs. Take "Fill Sectors with Zero" for example. Select it and click "OK". The software starts wiping partition. The main window will be shown after wiping and we can see the effect. In this window, Partition H: has been changed into unformatted partition and its space was run out because H: are filled with new written data and the original data is overwritten. Therefore, the deleted files can not be recovered

What's the best partition scheme for dual booting Windows XP and Gentoo Linux?

Some people do not like having a separate /home partition for Linux, though it is better for recovery purposes. For the purposes of the question, it is assumed that you do not want a separate partition for your /home directory. The best performance is provided by placing a Linux swap partition first on the drive. This should be at least double the amount of RAM you have installed, but no larger than 1 GB. You will have to move the XP partition to the end of the drive after you have installed it. The partition after the swap partition should be a Linux partition. I personally prefer ReiserFS, but ext3 is slightly more popular, mostly due to the larger number of error recovery tools. The last partition should be the Windows XP partition.
