re-install partitions extend resize

hi

i am in the process of re-install of vista HP

and would like to change size of partitions

i have disk 0 partition2 x 67.1GB primary
and disk 0 partition3 x 67.2GB primary

is it possible at this point in the install to make partitin 3 larger and partition 2 smaller as partition 2 is just for OS


thanks

Can you post a snip showing your current Disk Management? What have you got on partitions 0 and 1 ?

I'm assuming that you're talking about the laptop listed in your specs. If it is, and you're restoring the system from the built-in recovery partition (which I think will be either partition 0 or 1), then it is very likely that it will partition the disk as you already have it. The partition resizing will have to come afterwards.

sorry as im installing i cant access mspaint etc to do screen shot

partition 0

i think is hidden partition EISA for recovery purposes acer..

partition 1 used to house my os but am re installin so both C: os and D: data are formatted and clean

i would like to make partition 2 smaller as its just for OS
and partition 2 larger to store movies music pics etc

is that possible during install or should i perform that later in disk management once installation is complete?



thanks
