Increase Basic Disk Partition

[Guest]

Hi all, need knowledge to the above matter.
Lately I reinstall my Windows XP Pro into a new harddisk which I have
partition up to 4 partitions which are 2 primary and 2 logical partition.
I install the Windows XP Pro into a partition which is only 3.5GB which I
thought it would be enough. Now I keep getting warnings as the disk is
getting low in space.
What can I do? I am open to ideas/method to do it.
My harddisk is only 40GB where the partitions are 3.5GB, 25GB, 6.63GB and
3.8GB about there. I have the last partition of 3.8GB still empty.

Please assist.

You can use Partition Magic to resize the partitions on the fly. It's not
cheap, but works.

While Partition Magic is the most commonly referred to application a less
expensive and more stable alternative is BootIt NG. Do a search for the name
on google http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/bootitng.html

Just curious, but how do you support your claim that BootIt is "more
stable" than PM?

That's a lot of partitions for such a small drive, and an
especially small partition for Windows.

No version of Windows or DOS has ever had the ability to change
the partition structure of a drive without losing all the data on
it. To do so requires the use of a third-party program. Partition
Magic is the best-known such program, but there are
shareware/freeware alternatives. One shareware product that gets
good reports (although I haven't used it personally) is Bootit
Next generation.

I have used both extensively.
