Resize exfat Hard drive

2

Is it still impossible to to resize, shrink or extend exfat partitions ? I cant find a way to do it, neither in windows nor with partitioning software. Any ideas other than formatting the partition to use a different file system ? I do not want to lose my data and do not have enough space for backup.

1What operating system are you using? You need to backup before you attempt ANY solution. – Ramhound – 2012-11-28T13:39:55.507

It sounds like its still not possible to extend exfat partitions based on my breif amount of research. – Ramhound – 2012-11-28T19:04:11.767

Windows Disk Management can't resize exFAT partition, but you can use software to resize partition. if you have a computer running Windows, you can install PartitionGuru Free and then resize, shrink, split or extend partition. This tool doesn't support merge partitions. But the resizing thing works well, as the process doesn't cause data loss.
