JSReis - I don't think resizing your HDD partition is possible without affecting (losing) the data formatting of that partition, even with SFSDoctor or by using HDConfig.
I'd suggest copying your partition details to a MicroSD card or similar, or even a spare HDD of at least the same capacity as the HDD you currently have that the data is on, and then taking the plunge and re-installing your new partition with MorphOSBootCD or a USB stick suitably formatted and after the HDD has been installed with MorphOS then copy ALL the files you wanted to preserve back onto the freshly installed HDD from the MicroSD or whatever you decide to use as your salvage/backup media. Also, when you copy it all back use the "replace all" option of copying so that even similar/same files from your backup are replaced so you get all the files on the re-installed system to what they were on your previous HDD.
I don't think that using the cloning option on your HDD system, as your older system was on a smaller HDD will work as easily, but that may be worth a try as well, or alternatively.
Remember if you use the Custom Install in the MorphOSBootCD installation process, you can choose a system partition of 123GB (SFS maximum), which is what I have - if you know what you are doing. It is fairly easy, but you also have to create the 80MB "BOOT" partition - though you can name it differently if you prefer. Also you don't need to keep to the conformity of naming your HDD partition as DH?, as you can name them almost anything you like, such as, SFSHDD0, SFSDH1, HFSB00T, as MorphOS is not like Windows (virtually restricted to C only). As I have quite a few systems I name all my HDDs differently in case I have to swap or use the HDD on a different system, so there is no clash of HDD naming!
If you haven't come across the option of making your MorphOS system a far more efficient multi-threaded OS, you should amend/edit the "
Advanced.conf" file which is probably languishing in Prefs/Env-Archive/Ambient, so that the line "donotputrefwindowtosleep - has the "semi-colon (;) removed from the left side of that line of text, and the extra wording added onto the right side of that same line "= true", so that it then reads "donotputrefwindowtosleep = true". If that config file is not actually in the directory I mention then you may need to look in the MorphOS (MOSSYS) directory and go to its Prefs directory and the same directory tree and find the file there and copy/paste it to the System/Prefs directory tree.
This feature makes it possible for you to copy multiple files from the same window without the system displaying a "busy egg-timer" until it copies the initial set or even an individual file(s) and then allows you to copy more files. It is a great improvement over the initial default setup.
Hope this info is of some use to you.
