Adding space C: partition

I have a Vaio PCV RX650 desktop (about six years old). The hard drive finally gave in (everything else is fine), so I replaced it with a Western Digital 250GB EIDE drive.

When going through the system recovery disks originally provided with the computer, the largest partition it will allow me give to the C: drive is 30GB....there is a pulldown menu where you select the c: partition.

Everything is up and running fine, but my disk management is showing 28GB on my C: drive and 205GB on the D: drive. I know I can't change the C: partition in Windows...I tried using the Data Lifeguard software from Western Digital, but the boot disk won't launch DOS.

I know of Partition Magic...and I'm willing to pay $70 for it, but I want to know that it will be able to enlarge the system volume partition first.

Any thoughts?
 
I've used partition magic to resize a drive, and it worked perfectly. Took only seconds to do so, and since i've done it, I have not had any related issues. IMO, it was worth it.
 
sonys are completely retarded like that. I think that had to do with their recovery options, like you can wipe the OS and Apps and not wipe the data, that is if you actually saved your data on the secondary partition.

Partition magic would do the trick, or just wipe and reload clean from an actual OS disk.
