Partition resize problem

Hi

I have two partitions on primary disk with a free space between the two as
below;

| Drive C Space | Free Space | Drive E Space |

Is there anyway I can expand E drive space to include the free space without
reinstalling win xp from scratch?

Thanks

Regards

Partition magic or others perhaps, your call..

XP's Disk Management can't do it , you'll need a third party partition
manager app..

Try BootItNG from www.bootitng.com
The 30 day trial version is fully functional.
Do not install it, just run the program and that will put you into
Maintenace mode where you can resize the existing partitions without
destroying the contents.

Good luck

RE: Partition resize problem

John,

Just be very careful make sure if the programs lets you make a "Repair Disk"
MAKE IT, I've had great and horriable experience with Partition programs.

Good Luck,

Re: Partition resize problem

If all the folders and files on E: that will temporarily fit on C:, move
them there. Afterwards, delete the E: partition. Create a new partition to
include all freespace. A reboot may be required. Move the folders and
files back to E:

Otherwise, a 3rd party partition application is required.
