Default Repartition Hard Drives in XP Pro



I have three hard drives on my Dell System. My "c" drive has become full and
some software titles that I just got are defaulted to the "c" drive to be in
the same drive as XP Pro OS. In my "e" drive I have 15.7GB free that has
never been touched. I can't delete anything in my "C" drive and I would love
for someone to help me to repartiion my "e" drive with my C. That would only
give me two drives and that would work out fine. Please help!

Since you have Professional edition, you can convert the disks holding C:
and E: drive to dynamic, delete E: then extend C: to use the space that was
occupied by E: (After converting to dynamic, right click on C: and choose
Extend). You won't be able to utilize the space occupied by E: unless you
delete it, so you will have to move any data you have there so you don't
loose it when you delete E:

If you convert your boot disk to dynamic, you must reboot the machine twice
before doing anything else. You should get popups instructing you to do
this. Don't open the Disk Management UI or do anything else until you have
rebooted twice.

Deborah:

Thanks for your info. I tried this on a computer I don't use much since I
didn't want to go "cold turkey" on my main system at work. I converted to
dynamic, i deleted my unused E drive, however when i tried to extend "c" it
told me you cannot extend a system disk which in my case was the c drive. So
I have around 10gig of unallocated space and would love to send it to my C.
Any other ideas?? thanks Jason
