Default Hard Drive Partition


I made the mistake of making one partition 10G and the other 140G. Now the
10G Partition is full and I would like to know what can I do to move files to
the bigger partition?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Herman

You can shrink your large partition and increase your small one in Disk
Manager. Right click on Computer, select "manage" and on the left side of
the window select Disk Manager.

You to, but it will not work. Wat OP want, is make the 2nd partition
smaller. No problem, but now the free space is located at the end of
the 2nd partition. And now??????


Bye, Bughunter.
