So, I'm still not sure if I will move to W8 completely or will stay on W7 until some small things are fixed (compatibility issues).

Currently, I have one 1 Tb HD, partitioned into two: One big for System, Downloads, programs, etc, with 732 Gb (535 Gb free) and another one for all my media and stuff (that means documents, Music, photos, a good part of videos, movies, etc) with 195 Gb (15 Gb free, was thinking of increasing it also).

I'd like recommendations on how much I should repartiton this so i have enough space for Windows 7 (It will still be kept on C:) and it's programs and data (how i can know how much that is using right now?) and another one for Windows 8 (with enough space for itself, programs and data). The rest should go to the Media partition.

And, if everything goes fine on the future, how I would remove Windows 7, make the Windows 8 partition called C:, and the rest back to Media partition. This one isn't urgent, though.

Thanks in advance :P

OK, now I have another problem. I have created once a partition for my documents. Set up 200 Gb out of 1 Tb for it. But, now I feel I want it to be bigger, but neither the W7 and EASEUS partition manager allows me to increase it's size. Anyone knows what i could do?

Do you not have this option?

Post a screenie of your Disk Management... Sometimes the space is in such an order that Disk Management can't do it... Such as having space at the very end of the drive you want to merge with a partition at the beginning... If that's the case you need a more advanced program...

Try the MiniTool Partition Wizard recommended or Partition Magic

Yea, there's a minimum amount of unallocated space that you need to be able to expand the other partition I think.

[Off-topic] Draciel882:
When working with partitions and the sort, I highly recommend using a Ubuntu Live CD/USB and using GParted that comes on it. It's amazing. Especially considering none of your drives will be mounted so you can do anything. The reason you can't extend is probably cause you're currently using that partition. But remember that when you modify the partition Windows is installed on, 90% of the time you will have to use a Windows install disk to "fix" your MBR record. Not hard at all though.
[Off-topic] Felimenta97:
Sorry, I can't understand. I already did this once. I was using EASEUS Partition manager, you would choose what you want, and after you press "Apply", it would reboot the PC, and after the BIOS was loaded, it would do the whole process. Even now I can't do that.

Right now MiniTool is scanning my HD. It's taking hours (as my PC isn't so powerful) and the HD is huge. Wait a sec, gonna post a screenshot of what EASEUS shows.

EDIT: Look at attachment. Not even EASEUS allows me to add it to another one.

Microsoft says this regarding bug check code 109:

A driver has inadvertently, or deliberately, modified critical kernel code or data. Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) and later versions of Windows for x64-based computers do not allow the kernel to be patched except through authorized Microsoft-originated hot patches. For more information, see Patching Policy for x64-based Systems.

A developer attempted to set a normal kernel breakpoint using a kernel debugger that was not attached when the system was started. Normal breakpoints (bp) can only be set if the debugger is attached at start time. Processor breakpoints (ba) can be set at any time.

A hardware corruption occurred. For example, the kernel code or data could have been stored in memory that failed.
