Hi all -
Thanks to all that have helped with this one, it seems Partition Magic is the
more straightforward option; wonder why manufacturers allow such small space
for the drive allocated for the OS system. Does anybody know how much space
XPHome requires for an installation anyway?-

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.

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! -

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.
HTH,
Amro

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?
Thanks -
Andy
