How to extend system partition.

[Wojtek]

I bough a new hard disk and made it slave.
May I delete logical drive from master disk and include free space to system
partition?
I know, Partition Magic possibly can do it, what about standard XP disk
Management?

Only with Partition Magic or similar. Unless you fancy a fresh installation.

I have used PartitionMagic to do similar partition moving, resizing, and
such. Ranish Partition Manager (http://www.ranish.com/part/) is free
but I haven't used it to determine if it has the same features as
PartitionMagic. Since you are making a major change to your system,
save backups of your data or any other files on the partition(s) you
plan to change, and save an image of those partitions to provide for
disaster recovery.

If you try to do anything to the system partition (the one containing
the OS) then it will involve complete data loss. The ONLY way to
resize any partition without complete data loss is using a third party
partition management application. Even then, data loss is a distinct
possibility.
