default the partition will occupy the entire new disk. You can resize and relocate the partition by
dragging it or its borders with a mouse on the horizontal bar on the screen or by entering
corresponding values into the appropriate fields (Partition size, Free space before, Free space
after). While specifying the partition size remember that you need to leave as much unallocated
(free) space after the newly resized partition as will be needed for the second partition. Usually
the free space before partitions is equal to zero. Click Accept when the partition has the size you
have planned for it, then click Next.

10.2.2. Recovering a disk with a hidden partition
Recovering a backup of the system disk with a hidden partition (e.g. created by the PC manufacturer
for diagnostics or system recovery) to a different capacity hard drive, requires to take into account
some additional factors. First of all, for the best chance of success, it is necessary to keep on the new
drive the physical order of the partitions that exist on the old drive and place the hidden partition to
the same location - usually at the start or the end of the disk space. In addition, it is better to recover
the hidden partition without resizing to minimize the risk of possible problems.
