Vista - Partition C:

02-29-2008

I have an HP Media Center computer with two 320G hard drives. The boot drive
crashed, replaced it and ran the restore disks, but when Windows re-started
the HP restoration software had partioned C: as a small (48G) drive, with the
rest of the drive unallocated. Looks like it also mirrored the primary
logical disk (0) onto the secondary disk (1). I extended the unallocated
partition on the first drive (D

, but there appears to be no way to increase
the size of C:, which is where all my program files, default document
location, etc reside. I assume it will eventually fill up as I install
additional programs - any way to increase the size of C: without
reformatting? Any help appreciated!
