Partitioned Drives

[piwadmin]

Situation: When PC's were initially configured the drives were partitioned with C & D, C having minimal amount, about 4GB. Who ever loaded the PC’s failed to put the Program Files on the D drive.
My problem: Users are unable to access the network from this machine because the C drive is full and they are receiving the following error: Windows cannot log you on because the profile cannot be loaded.
Possible Solutions:
a) Will it be easier to repartitioned the NTFS drives using partition magic? Will this have a detrimental effect on the OS?
b) Can I Move the Programs folder to the D drive? Will this have a detrimental effect on those programs?

I am open to suggestions, thanks for any help rendered.

hi,
the second will create serious problems to your system:
all programs, are under Program Files, but their
registrtion points to C:\Program .... ; this path
has been written everywhere: Programs will not start
from menu, deinstall will fail and so on.

For the first I belive there are no problem:
you merge part.s (if I remember) and sure you can
reduce D and enlarge C

bye

Make sure you backup everything before you use Partition Magic.
