Even if Windows XP had the ability, you'd want to be careful (i.e., make a
backup first.) In fact, I'd be more worried about a Windows utility than I
would be using BootIt NG. I use BING all the time, resize and rearrange
partitions all the time, and I've never had a problem. But I still make an
image of the partition(s) before I go to work. I use Acronis True Image
these days, but BING includes its own imaging utility. Note that with BING,
you download and run an executable that creates the bootable installation
floppy. Boot to the floppy then CANCEL the installation. That will drop you
into Maintenance Mode where you can access Partition Work. Since you don't
actually install the boot manager, which starts the thirty day clock,
there's no worry about registration.

Thank you all for your replies. I was hoping there was a built-in XP
mechanism for this, but as Ken Blake wrote, there is not, and I will have
to
be careful if I try any third-party solutions.

The 60GB hard drive on my XP Home Edition PC came set up with C: 13.9GB,
D:
36.8GB as shown in My Computer as Total Size. I am running out of space

the C: partition and would like to increase it by decreasing the space on
the
D: partition. Does anybody know if this can be done, and if so, how?
Thank
you for any helpful information.
