Adam Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I have been doing maintenance on a friend's computer over the weekend and I have a question. His hard drive is divided into C and D, as many are, but whoever set this machine up put 16 GB on the C and over 60 GB on the D. Is there any way to change the amount of space? Everything in on the small part and it is running slow- he doesn't have room for everything either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried some partition manager programs but apparently because I have Windows XP professional they didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 What's the OS? XP service pack 3. Can I just delete the partition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 XP service pack 3. Can I just delete the partition? When you say "everything" is on C, is there really nothing you need on D? If not, I think you can merge all of D into C using this: http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partition-...cdlPid=10982635 I haven't used this, so you may need to delete D, and then expand C to take up the unused space. This article explains how to remove the D drive in XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307844 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Everything good, then? Sure looks like it- I returned his music to the MY Music folder and it reappeared in ITUNES (I will have him check to make sure it is all there). Plenty of room on the C drive to save games and music now. I even left 15 GB on the D Drive, so I can set it up to hold restore points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
