partition size increse

M

MikieSlats

My laptop is running XP. One physical drive, two partitions. Application
data is on C: and data files on D: I need to increase the size of C as, at
14GB it is too small now. There is plenty of space on D.
Is there a way I can safely do this with the existing files intact? Files
are NTFS.
Thanks
Mikie

Third party applications (like partition magic, BootItNG or possibly by
imaging the partition(s) and then partitioning the drive the way you want it
and applying the image of the partition(s) back onto the disk.)

There is no innate method in Windows XP.

A third party tool, Partition Magic is one, however data backups are allways
wise in any such operation
