dcamp67 0 Posted January 30, 2005 My hard drive (as most yours are, I'm sure) is partitioned off into two local drives; c: and d: I am beginning to have space issues on the c: drive (~15 gig) and have all this space available on the d: drive (~18 gig). How do I go about reallocating some of that space on the c: to the d:? XP SP2 TIA David Share this post Link to post
jmmijo 1 Posted January 30, 2005 Well may I suggest you don't and just add a second larger capacity HD as a single HD partition instead HD's have gotten very cheap now and you can easily add a second drive as the SLAve drive after jumpering the original as the MASter drive.

dcamp67 0 Posted January 30, 2005 Thanks for the suggestion. I think I forgot to mention that this is in a Sony Vaio FRV27 laptop. I wouldn't mind adding a new HD, but there physically isn't room for one. Share this post Link to post
jmmijo 1 Posted January 30, 2005 Ah, that does make a difference then Partition Magic allows you to resize and even merge adjacent partitions together however I don't recall if it could move data that already exists on one of the partitions and moves it over to the partition you've resized or not. Basically you maybe in a position where it would be better to backup any important data first, then do a complete wipe of both partitions and reinstall the OS onto one partition rather then into two smaller ones like you currently have. The other option to consider, especially for notebook/laptop owners is to purchase an external USB enclosure with the HD capacity you wish to have, for instance an 80~120GB models are pretty inexpensive for this particular use Share this post Link to post
