My disk drive is partitioned into 3 logical parts. I would like to increase
the size of the C: drive and decrease the size of the E: drive.
What do I have to do? I just installed Windows XP.


Thanks

Otto

The only way you can create, delete, resize or merge existing partitions,
and not harm your existing Windows installation, is to purchase and use
a third-party partitioning program such as Partition Magic 8.
http://www.symantec.com/partitionmagic/

The alternative is to perform a "Clean Install" of Windows XP.

3rd party programs as fish seems to think are'nt the only tools of the
trade...
To merge with xp yes,to modify no,you can enter recovery,typeiskPart And
delete apartition,or in run type:diskmgmt.msc In msc,L.click on a
partition,then
modify.
