Manually changing partition sizes

Choosing Change Partition Size and Recover allows you to manually select the size of your C: drive, leaving the
remaining gigabytes to the D: drive. Meanwhile, all current partition sizes are deleted, the hard disk is reformatted,
and all the original software is restored as with a standard system recovery. You will lose all the data on your
hard drive.
You should allow one hour for this process.
To manually change the partition sizes and perform a system recovery, proceed as follows:
1 Select the button next to Change Partition Size and Recover.
2 Click Next.
3 In the following screen, select the size of your C: drive in gigabytes, or choose to restore the default size by
pressing Default.
4 Click Next.
5 Read the summary of the recovery process about to be performed and click Next to start the process.
6 Click Yes to confirm.
7 Follow the instructions onscreen.
8 When the process is finished, click OK.
9 Click Next in the window that appears.
The system ejects the disc automatically.
10 Remove the disc, close the drive and click Finish.
Your system's settings are changed and your computer reboots automatically.
