Iam just wondering what software i should use. Dont wanna screw it up and loose data..

[Duki3003]

Partion Magic or if you want free - most live linux cds have hd management...

I personally would not trust a Linux partitioning tool to expand a windows file system.

Partition Magic it is then.

Partition Magic is the best software for the job.

If you're using Windows Vista or 7, the OS' Disk Management utility can also do that. There are some limitations though.

Earlier this week I used that program to extend my C: by 100,000MB. It was very simple, and appears to have worked.

If you have another drive free, it would be better to back up the non system partition and image the system partition.  Then format your system drive and partition it the way you want it to be, move the non system files back to the non system partition and install the system image onto your system partition.  Not quite as effective as a reformat - reinstall, but better than trying to deal with resizing fragmented partitions.

i've never had an issue with using linux to grow a ntfs partition.

Neither have I. In fact I've had a better time with tools like gparted and the like than with the win32 partition editors I've tried.
