    Vista/Drive Partition/Help

    Ok, a friend and I built a beautiful computer, with a 1.5 TB drive, we partitioned (and installed Vista x64 on, the drive with a 40 GB partition for the OS.

    It's currently at 38 GB's and I afraid I will run out of space. (What happens then?)

    We named the partition C: and the remaining 1.40+TB's E:, is there a way to increase C:'s size to say 80 GB's?

    Please keep in mine that this is my first Vista based comp.

    Please help, and i'd love it if you said yes I can increase it lol.



    Respectfully,
    Paul H.

    Hello Paul, and welcome to Vista Forums.

    You can use Disk Management to delete the E: partition and extend C: back into how much of the now unallocated E: you want added to C: . Afterwards, you can recreate the E: partition with what is left of the unallocated space.

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    For these types of issues, I personally use partition magic. There may be a trial for it somewhere on the web.

    Partition Magic Download - Partition Software - Partition Hard Drive | Norton PartitionMagic
