Hi Folks,

I have WindowsXP Pro on a hard drive that was partioned so that the C drive
with Windows is only 4 gigs and the remainder of the hard drive is a second
partition creating a D drive. The D partition is empty. (There is a second
physical drive for all my data partitioned into E and F).

OfficeXP was also placed on the C drive so I am now running out of memory
when I cut and paste a graphic in Word or even when I want to defrag C.

I would like to make the C drive with Windows and Office on it larger.

Is there a way to increase the size of the C partition? Can someone explain
how to go about making C larger without loosing anything on C?

Thanks a lot,

Bob
