Andy, has someone suggested partition magic for resizing partitions? It works on the fly so you don't lose or damage info on the partitions you are altering. hth, Mark Threadgold Of all the things I have ever lost, The one I miss most is my mind... _____ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of ANDY COLLINS Sent: 23 December 2009 21:53 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: increasing partitions size on hard drive? Hi Amro - No, unfortunately it seems that resizing drives is pretty much out of the question, unless one goes back to a clean install etc, and I don't fancy doing that! - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Amro Bilal <mailto:Lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, December 23, 2009 9:07 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: increasing partitions size on hard drive? Hi Andy, have a look at Norton Partition Magic. Highly recommended. The version I have is 8.0 and I think this is the latest version. However, Norton Partition Magic isn't free and I'm afraid I'm not sure if you can resize hard drive from within Windows itself without the need for additional utilities as such.

Hi all - My Asus netbook has a 12GB hard drive; the c:drive is 4GB, and the d:drive 8GB; my XP OS is on the c:drive, and I keep getting a message telling me that capacity on that drive is very low, and to create more space. There's not much I can move from the C to the D drive, so wondered instead about increasing the capacity of the C drive, and reducing that of the D drive. I don't know how to do this, so can anybody get me started?
