Solve : Changing partition Hard drives sizes?

Answer»

For some reason my hardrive is partitioned into 5 separate drives (person who made computer for me did it).The DRIVE I store my music (G Drive) in is nearing full and I have another drive (F drive) that I have next to nothing in. Is there a way I can take the space (40gb) from F drive and use it in G drive?Years ago when drives were much smaller there was a program/app that could do that and other useful things. I'm sorry I can't recall the name of it. It was free to try and cheap to buy, but how OFTEN would you use SOMETHING like that? Usually there is something around to perform what we want so I think if you search you'll find something. Good luck.Welcome to CH.
I see you are using XP.
You can move you stuff from one drive to another.
You can tie two drives together as a "folder". (More on that below)
You can use a free program to change the size of one of more partitions.
Warning. Be very careful about the partition that has your system on it.
Here is a good program you can try free:

Read fine print carefully. Don't let them suck you into buying it. You can use it free.
Making a drive a folder:
The "My documents" folder can be moved to an empty folder on any drive.

Something like this can be done with other folders.^^^ Geek, thanks. I followed your LINK and the app I was trying to think of is Partition Magic which SYMANTEC has now. I'm going to try a couple apps from your link.Thanks for that..it worked a treat
