Hello,

I have a 500GB hard drive, with the boot partition (200GB), and the rest of the space is an empty partition. I have Windows 7 installed in the boot partition. I want to know whether i'ts possible to expand the size of the boot partition, and what tool would be necessary for the task.

Thanks..
 
You can use a third party utility like partition magic.

If I"m not mistaken, you can convert the drive to a dynamic disk and extent the volume. If you have other operating systems installed on that drive, you will no longer be able to boot them if you go this route.
 
GParted works nicely...I've used it before and it's free. It does take a good bit of time, and as always, backup your data in case of problems.
