Resizing hard drive(s).

My Toshiba W7 laptop has a 500GB hard drive partitioned into equal segments.

The C drive has only 46GB free whilst the D drive only has the recovery files and has 224GB free.

I used to use Partition Magic several machine and Windows versions ago.

Will the inbuilt W7 Disk Management utility allow me to change the partition sizes without deleting existing data?

I see that I can shrink the D volume, but will this then be available to expand the C volume, or will the location of the files on the D partition prevent me from 'moving the boundary'?

Is there any risk with this?
