You run FDISK to change the size of partitions.  BUT, if you run FDISK to
increase the size of the C: drive, you will LOSE all the data that is on
both C: and D:!!!  You will also have to reinstall your XP.  If it is not a
brand new installation, you will have to get Microsoft's approval.

However, if you purchase a software tool such as, "Partition Magic,"  (XP
version), then you can change the sizes of the drives at will.  Partition
Magic has been highly recommended on this list before, but it is fairly
expensive for a tool that you will rarely use.  It all depends on how badly
you want to change the size of the C: drive.  (I have never used it myself.)

Subject: [PCBUILD] How do I make my C: larger ?


I have a 120G Hard Drive partitioned into C: and D:
and my operating system is XP home.
My C: is 14G and is much smaller than my D: which
is  76G.  How do I make my C: larger ?
