Is there a way to increase the size of a partition on XP.

When setting up the system I made the partion that holds
the operating system to small. Can I increase the size
without formating the hard drive.

Thanks for the answer JJ. I made the same mistake my self. I partitioned
my 40Gb drive into two NTFS drives (2Gb & 38Gb). I used the 2Gb drive as my
C: drive and installed MS XP Pro there. I thought that I'd use the 38GB
drive for Program Files and such. I now see that all of the user accounts
(my family's computer) store the document, desktop, etc. on the C: drive.
I'm out of space before you know it. My question: If I were to re-size the
C: partition how large should it be? Or, should I just merge them and work
off of one drive?

Thanks for your reply. J.Chambers
