I have a DELL and I have re-loaded XP Professional, the C (NTFS),D and
E
(NTFS)drives set themselves up. When I turn the machine on, it boots
from 'C'
drive which has the XP Operating system and is sized at 2 gig. 'D'
drive is
the DVD and 'E' drive which has 35.25 gig sits there and does nothing.
A 2
gig 'C' drive is too small to add all the necessary software; how do I
combine or switch C and E or how can I turn E into C...how do I rename
and
change the file paths to use E as the boot disc partition? I am aware
that C
and E are partitions on the Hard Drive: without reformating or
reloading xp,
how can I get more work space?
In order to resize partitions, you will need a third-party application
to do this.
The information you provided so far is incomplete and incorrect. For
instance, if C: contains XP Pro, it's impossible for it to be 2GB! To
get all the information you need (size of the hard drive, size of the
partitions and amount of free space), do the following:
Start | Run
type "diskmgmt.msc" (without the quotation marks)
OK
Feel free to post back with the information from the Disk Management
utility.
Also, how do you want to manage your partitions? Do you want to keep the
number at two and just resize them, using C: for XP Pro plus programs
and E: for your data? Or perhaps do you want just one large C:
partition? For more info, see:
