Partioned Harddrive full 1

[Bluesmoon]

I have a PC I am working on where the builder had partioned the HD with drive C with only 2.5 gigs and drive D with 8.5 gigs. Drive C is now full and was wondering if there is anything I can do since drive D still has 7 gigs left or more?
Thanks for looking at my question.... Blue

Get a hold of Partition Magic. It will allow you to resize thet partitions.

You DON'T need to go out and buy Partition magic. There are two really good FREE utilities that will do the same thing. Both available on my System Utilities page.

Jim I already have partion magic on a tech CD I have with several other programs but I have never used it. Is there any Do's or Don'ts I need to watch out for when I resize the partions?

Thanks ,

Just the common recommendations. . BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP. Using any partition utilities is risky, less so than it used to be, but still a risk. David Moore

David is quite right. If Partition Magic is interrupted in mid-operation it can create quite a mess (it happens). A good backup is critical.

what would be the best way for me to back everything up .. should I ghost the HD or ??????? She has a Zip drive but it is only a 100mb drive and she has all of her company files on drive C and aboput 400mb on drive D and all the files on drive D are actual files w documents in stuff.

Again thank you all for your input ......

Fastest way might be to ghost the entire drive to a spare hard drive with equivalent specs.
