My hard drive shows a C and a D partition, os on the C.
C: Basic NTFS 15gb approx, 5.4 free space left
D: Basic NTFS 42 gb approx, 32 gb free space. These are my data files.
I want to temp. store data files on an external drive, and then combine the D vol into the C for an unpartitioned disk. That would give me more free space for the os files plus returned data files. Been reading MS help on partitions etc, but it is not clear to me if I can accomplish this. I don't want to mess up my OS, obviously. Any help?
Several partitioning programs exist that will help you. I used PartitionMagic pretty reliably a while ago, but haven't needed it recently, so you might do some quick research on the best products currently. You should be able to move all your files from the D: drive to the external, delete the D: partition and then use PartitionMagic to resize C: to claim some or all of the unused space.
