I have a partition drive with a 70/30 split, I never use the other driv
only the C drive, how can I adjust the split ratio to say 90/10? thank
 
its easier to start using it...........not all programs need to be installed
to C..a lot of programs give you the choice of where to install to.
How about your personal saved files...they could be saved to that
partition.IE7 cache can be moved there....Mail box can be moved there.
All of these option would give you a little more room on C

Thank you very much for your reply, yes I thought that was
possibility
 
You need a third party partition manager to do that if you are not to
destroy all files on the drive.

You can also increase free disk space on your C partition can be
achieved by relocation of folders.

For Temporary Internet Files select Start, Control Panel, Internet
Options, Temporary Internet Files. Settings, Move Folder.

To move the Outlook Express Store Folder select in Outlook Express
Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder, Change.

My Documents is one of a number of system created Special Folders
including My Pictures and My Music. These can more easily be relocated
using Tweak Ui. Download TweakUI, one of the MS powertoys, from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

In TweakUi select My Computer, Special Folders. You can scroll down to
see the full list of Special Folders to the left of the Change
Location button.

You may also need to change Default File locations in the Microsoft
Office programmes you choose to move the My Documents folder. For Word
go to Tools, Options, File Locations, highlight Documents, click on
Modify and change file path. For Excel go to Tools, Options, General
and change default file path.

Just out of curiosity, if you don't use it, why do you want to keep it? Why
not allocate 100% of the drive to the primary partition?
