Extending a volume with Diskpart

G

Guest

I have two internal hard drives on my XP Home computer: drive 0 and drive 1.
Drive 0 has two partitions: C (system) and D. All volumes on the computer are
NTFS.

83% of C is free, but only 7% of D is free. I'd like to extend D to use 50%
of the remaining space on C. Can this be done with Diskpart? (I do not want
to extend D into drive 1.

Thanks

Dynamic or Basic disks?
Partition Magic may do what you want.

What you're looking to do can only be accomplished with third
party software such as Norton's Partition Magic. Windows cannot
perform a non-destructive partition resize.

Good luck

Stanley and Nepatsfan:

Thanks much for the help. Looks like it's off to Best Buy for Partition Magic.

diskpart is really used as a partition deletion util.
