Dale,

 

For Disk 2 I'd delete the Win7 partition. Then you will have 494 GiB of unallocated space. I'd simple create a primary partition in this space. It's not going to make any practical difference if you have one or two partitions on that large HD.

 

For the SSD I'd resize the Win7 partition to fill the drive. Then you will have 56% free space in the partition.

Your C: drive will be 238 GB. You currently have 104 GB of data in the C: drive so you will have space to install another 100 GB of programs.

Use BIBM. Select the SSD partition. Click Resize. OK. In the New Size field type in the Max Size. OK. Continue. Close. Close.

 

It will happen very quickly.

Type what you see in the Max Size field.
