Changing partition sizes

[Guest]

I got a new computer with a 120G drive. It's partitioned into two drives; 15G/100G. I would like to increase the 15G to 20. Will WindowsXP do this?

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

No. No version of Windows has ever had the ability to change the
partition structure of a drive non-destructively. The only way to
do this (short of starting over and reformatting) is by using a
third-party tool, such as Partition Magic.
