I assume you mean that your C: drive is too small and there's extra
space on your D: drive. Whether you can move that space to C: depends
on a few things.

First: if C: and D: are on two different physical drives, then you
cannot move space between them.

If C: and D: are two partitions on the same drive (the most likely
setup) then you can, but not with anything that comes with Windows.
You'll need a third-party partitioning program: Partition Magic
(www.symantec.com/partitionmagic), BootitNG
(http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/), something on that order.

The disk management tool that comes with XP will only allow you to
delete existing partitions (losing all data stored there) and create
new, empty ones. (Vista has a more complete partitioning utility.)

So what was wrong with all the replies to your post in
windowsxp.perform_maintain yesterday?

Answered yesterday, in another newsgroup. Please do not send the same
message separately to more than one newsgroup (called multiposting).
Doing so just fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one
newsgroup doesn't get to see answers from others in another newsgroup.
And for those who read all the newsgroups the message is multiposted
to, they see the message multiple times instead of once (they would
see it only once if you correctly crossposted instead). This wastes
everyone's time, and gets you poorer help than you should get.

If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please
do so by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

multiple newsgroups?" at http://smjg.port5.com/faqs/usenet/xpost.html
