Partition's

[AWGoodrich]

I currently have three partitions on my hard drive C: D:
E: are all seperate partitions. I'm running out of space
where Windows XP Pro is installed on my C: drive. I have
plenty of space on my D: and E: drives. I want to transfer
some space from one of those drives to the C: drive so I
have more space available. All the space is currently
occupied by all the drives combined. Any suggestions on
how to do this with out reformatting my hard drive???????

The only way to do it without formatting is to purchase a program like
Partition Magic. Partition Magic will allow you to resize your partitions
without destroying any data.

Hi,

To resize the partitions you would need to use a third-party partitioning
program. You cannot do it with the drive tools included in Windows.

Partitioning programs:

BootIT NG www.terabyteunlimited.com
Partition Magic www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic
Partition Commander http://www.v-com.com/product/pc_ind.html
Ranish Partition Manager http://www.ranish.com/part/

If you do not want to bother with these, move your data to the other
partitions and reinstall your programs to them (use custom install instead
of default). You can also use TweakUI to move some of the WinXP folders. Get
it here:

Save yourself a lot of grief and pick up a 2nd hard drive, less than $1 a
gig these days. Buy Drive Image or Ghost, image the C partition and then
get rid of D and E and go with 1 large C drive. Dump the image back and
your in business. After that keep a current image of C on the 2nd disk plus
a copy of all your important data.
