Solve : Resizing a partition?

Answer»

Hi there.
I have Windows XP Sp2 with 160GB Hard drive. This is split in 2 partitions. Drive C is 8MB and is designated as FAT. It is FULL in capacity.
Drive H is 150GB and is designated as NTFS. And this one only has 50GB used and 100GB free.

I have problems with installing Windows SP3 because I get the message that it cannot be installed. As there is insufficient memory available.It apparently goes direct to the C drive. I have also noticed that in both drives there is a Windows folder. In windows C the size is 7.88MB, whilst in Drive H the windows folder size is 2.50GB. Incidentally the drives of D, E, F, and G are allocated to the various plug in cards.
I can see several options for this. Either increase the C partition, whilst this of course reduces the H partition. Or eliminate 1 partition altogether. I only have 1 Hard drive unit.
I don't want to reformat the computer if at all possible. And I believe there are software utilities which allows me to do this. I prefer a freebie one as I won't be using it any further in this regards.
Can anybody help me. See the attached data.
Wishing you all the best of Christmas.

[Saving SPACE - attachment deleted by admin]Partition Magic if you can find a copy should do the trick. I dont know of any free ones. MAYBE someone here can point out a free one. """Be sure to back up any important data before making partition changes as for sometimes they can be disasterous."""
