I have a Windows XP Pro system. One of my hard drives has two

I have plenty of space on the F:. I would like to just extend the
C: but from what I've read I can't do this within XP because it's
the bootable sector. It sounds like from some other posts that I
can purchase a program to do this. If I'm not worried about losing
programs and data is there any way to extend/change this partition
if I reinstall Windows or is my only option to purchase a program
to do this? I hope this made sense.
If you are not worried about losing data (as you state) - then sure- you
could wipe everything and create the partitions again in a better way. You
could image everything (by partition) and then dlete and create new
partitions and apply the images (they will adjust to whatever you put them
on.) etc...
