Hi, You can't with standard Windows tools. Partition Magic is available and will do it for you, obviously after paying for the software. I always partition workstation drives - you can always install stuff to d: if necessary.

If possible I would like to just have one partition (c:), so that everything is on the same drive and so that I have more space to install software without complications. How do I do this safely and in an accesible way without losing all of my data?
