The best answer is to not try to change anything. It will take about two days of work if you have not done it before. You need some extra stuff to help. Like another computer, or an external HDD. Some disk image software, like HDClone or Norton Ghost. It is a lot of fuss.
If the objective is more storage, just go buy a new disk drive. Some retail packages come with clone software.
Another way to do it is to use the MS backup program. Backup the whole partition. Then restore it to a different location, the primary.Then repair the non bookable partition with the recovery console. Like I said, lot of fuss.
