Help with merging partitions.

Okay so I just reinstalled vista, and the installer apparently chose the partition on its own or I did and wasn't paying attention, but it installed vista on a 15gig partition, which left me with a random 70meg partition from some boot crap, and a 600gig partition.

The partition (C) with vista installed is now full and I am now unable to install or extract any zips/rars due to this, I tried using Acronis Disk Director Suite to merge the 15gig and 600gig partitions but it freezes and crashes everytime I try, and I'd rather not delete the 600gig partition and extend the C partition because then I lose my stuff and I have to screw with some settings of some programs.

Anything else I can try to merge the two partitions?

u can try other 3rd party software but unfortuanatly you cant otherwise (not that i know of ), but u could shrink the 600gig part. and extend the C: drive

I already tried doing that but it wont work because the empty space isn't directly on the right of the C partition

OH looks like you are going to have to try a 3rd part software or buy an external hard drive to back up your data

Already got the external, the problem is that I've been installing all my programs onto the F drive which is the 600gig partition. And I'm afraid that if I just delete the F drive and extend the C drive and then throw all the programs back onto the C drive that they wont work properly.

thats a chance youll have to take unfourntuantly

Wellp thats done now. My computer just crashed while I was backin up my F drive, and so the F drive became fubar did not show in computers or anything, so I had to delete it and extend C drive. IDK Wtf made my PC Crash suddenly like that

so you lost all yor files ?

Naw, luckily I had already backed them all up on my external right before it crashed

now all is left is to copy your programs ect back over and see if they work but keeping originals on the E-HDD just incase ure pc crashes hehe.

Doin that right now, I'm gonna hafta fix some of the shortcuts. Songbird's didn't work, but being smart lol. I installed everythign on F in the normal path F:\Program Files (x86)\blahblah. so all I have to do is change F:\ to C:\ in the registry and thats easy

ye lol good idea haha
