In addition to automatic resizing if there are ONLY the "default" Windows partitions on the disk, which is a Wish List item I've had for a while now, what I'd personally like to see is the ability to resize a partition even when there's already another one to the right. And if having an unallocated gap at the end bugs you, then you could just resize the last partition to Max Size to fill any remaining space. So yes I suppose you could end up with a few extra MB at the end, but that's hardly consequential. The partition size figures shown in Reflect also go to 2 decimal places. The Restored/Cloned Partition Properties dialog allows you to set the units to MB, GB, or TB, and supports at least 2 decimal places. dragging the left or right edge of a partition farther left/right in order to increase the overall partition size and make its start or end sector adjacent to another partition. And if partitions could be "snapped" to each other, that would allow partitions to be reordered and resized fairly easily to eliminate any gaps between partitions that might not be wanted, e.g. rather than having to drag and drop them in the desired order, I should be able to drag Partition 2 to the beginning of the disk and have Reflect automatically move Partition 1 over so that I can drop it there if desired. The ability to reorder partitions within the Destination would be handy as well, i.e.
For example if I have Partition 1, Partition 2, and then a bunch of unallocated space, I should be able to extend Partition 1 and have that simply shift Partition 2 farther down the disk. Note: you can reorder partitions so C drive is last to avoid this but this gets back to current pre-2004 problem is you will end up with 2 recovery partitions after an upgrade. It is easier to use a tool like Minitool Partition Wizard Free to do this afterwards as you can do it precisely,Ī really great improvement would be to have an option to expand C drive automatically, so that the partitions to right are moved as far right as possible, so all unallocated space is immediately to right of C drive and can then be expanded.
You normally have to err on side of caution which can lead to a few MB of used space (not a big deal but annoying).
OK for only 4 partitions, this is not too arduous but if 2 or more partitions to right of C drive, you have to add up size of all partitions which can be difficult to precisely estimate if some are expressed in GB instead of MB. - used advanced properties to extend C drive leaving enough space for Win RE partition (here is how for default 4 UEFI partitions) Now you have to do it in a clunky way i.e. You cannot simply click maximum in advanced properties anymore as the WinRE partition gets in the way. This makes expanding C drive to fill all extra space on a larger hard drive more complicated than before. The WinRE partition is now placed after the C drive. With version 2004, the default partition order has changed.
