Re: Pratitioning C and D hard drives

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

You can, but how depends on your current setup. If C: currently encompasses
all of your drive, you will need a third party partitioning program to do
this. If you have free space on the drive, then you can use disk manager
(start/run diskmgmt.msc) to create a new partition.

Partitioning programs:

BootIT NG www.terabyteunlimited.com
Partition Magic www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic
Partition Commander http://www.v-com.com/product/pc_ind.html
Ranish Partition Manager http://www.ranish.com/part/
