Expanding a Partition

[rhys]

GoBack created a 5.01GB NTFS (EISA) partition on my drive. When GoBack was
uninstalled the partition remained. I would like to return this to my 15.01
GB NTFS Healthy (System) C Disk. How can I do this - hopefully without
losing everything and starting from scratch?
Thanks,
rhys

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

Otherwise, a "clean install" will be required.

Rhys,

programs like Bootit NG or Partition Magic can do this. Be sure
to use the latest version though, because years-old versions may
not be fully compatible with the current NTFS format.
