Only one way - Buy a copy of Windows 7. Period.

I have three partitions:
Partition 1: Windows 7 Operating System (the famous C: :lol:) 25 GB.
Partition 2: Personal Files (98 GB)
Partition 3: Ubuntu Linux (25 GB)

Can I grab some space out of the Partition 2 & append into Partition 1 without re-installing Windows?

Yes. You can "grab" any amount of empty space from a contiguous partition and add it to the respective adjacent partition. Post a screenshot of windows disk mgmt.

I didn't mention a 100 MB partition labeled "System Reserved" in my previous post. This partition was created when I installed from my OEM's copy.

There's going to be a problem here. Since that 98GB partition is a logical partition inside an extended partition. Re-sizing it will only provide space in the extended region. In short you can't add the spaced out portion to your C drive. (At least with the built-in Disk management tool)
I don't know if 3rd party tools cn help you.

Have installed Acronis before , but few years ago. Would that work?
Haven't used Acronis before, so can't comment.
Anyway you can try out this method - Moving Space Between Partitions. It is using gpart, so you can use Ubuntu for that.
Though, I strongly advice you to take a backup of important files.

are we free to troubleshoot here :
if not then indicate me to delete this.

Windows was temporarily unable to read your hard disk drive

the PC restarts following a BSOD and then this error (above mentioned) is displayed in the Action Centre..
the HDD i use is in my siggy, just 6 -7 months old..

^ Did you install or made changes to your computer before this error?
Run chkdsk to see if there's any error. Also, when you get the BSOD , do note down the error (hexadecimal number as well as the Mnemonic) & post here along with your computer information.
