question is: Is there a freewae that can do it without loosing my Data?
 
Ok, I suppose you would like just a tad bit more information?

BootIT NG www.terabyteunlimited.com

Download and create the diskette, boot the system with it. Cancel
installation and enter maintenance mode to work on the system. While there
is no need to purchase this product in order to work these tasks, I would
recommend that you do.

BootIt Next Generation ( http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/ ) is shareware,
not freeware, but it comes with a 30-day free trial, and you can do what
you want within that time.

However there are no guarantees that it always works perfectly. However
unlikely, it's always possible that something might go wrong. For that
reason it's prudent to be sure you have a backup of anything you can't
afford to lose before beginning.
 
It is a virtual drive created by subdividing a single hard drive into two
drives. The second one is commonly called the D drive.

A word on the terminology: although calling it a "virtual drive" isn't
unreasonable, it's not the term used for this, and is therefore likely to
confuse people. D: is a "partition" on the physical drive. C: is also a
partition on the drive.
 
Ken, thanks for the correction.

I have 4 (count'em!) Sony laptops and they all have partitioned drives. But
to me these partitions are "virtual" drives, since they are on the same HD
disk. A matter of semantics (as opposed to Symantec).

You're welcome. Glad to help.

Sure. As I said, "virtual" isn't a bad name for them. It just isn't the
term that's normally used.
