Re: Dos command?

Typically, the first partition on the drive will be your C: drive, as its the first one created. This can differ if you did a custom installation, or are dual booting. If you are doing something other than a single OS boot, then you will have to compare the sizes of the partitions, if you can't identify them readily from their posiition on the drive. You can do this by right clicking My Computer and selecting Manage, Disk Management. Your hard drive will be shown, with all its partitions and their drive letters.

As before, to resizethe C: drive, you will need to "Slide" all of the other partitions, after it, down, one at a time, before you can resize C:. The space for the enlarged C: partition has to be one continuous section of disk space.

Its very simple, you just need to create the setup boot floppy or
CD-ROM (you'll need to know how to burn ISO files to CD to use the
bootable CD-ROM). Then boot your computer using the floppy/CD.
When BootIt setup starts, cancel it and you'll be given the option to
enter Maintenance Mode. Once there, choose Partition Work. The rest
is pretty obvious.

You would need to resize G to the smaller size, then slide it and all
the other partitions down to make room for the extra space on the C:
partition. Its all GUI based and very simple to follow. All the
buttons are right there, and there is Help included for virtually
every function.

Thanks for your further guidance.
After making a bootable CD and entering Maintenance Mode I Resized drive
G and out of this Volume took out 5005 MBs. Now when I want to resize
drive-C and when I click on resize button, I have the following picture
and the partition-dialoge reads as under:

MBR Entry 0 Partition 9XXX MB HPFS/NTFS
MBR Entry 1 -do- 54zzz MB Extended
unnamed volume 9yyy MB -do-
-do- volume 9iii MB -do
unnamed volume 9hhh MB -do
unnamed volume 25kkk MB -do-
------ partition 5005 MB Free Space
MBR Entry 2 Partition 7LLL MB Type 77h/119

Whice is my C-Drive please?

Suppose I hit resize after selecting MBR Entry-1 (If it is my C drice)
I get the following:

Partition Information:
Name: MBR Entry 1
Type Extended
Size= 54zzz MB

Begninning
Free sapce Outside------after this here is a blank small square
Free Space Inside after this here is a blank small square
End Free Space Inside after this here is a blank small square
Free Space outside 5005 after this here is a blank small square

When I click OK nothing happens.

Please guide.
