| 732468 | 2008-12-25 23:32:00 | OK while ago fitted new 2nd harddrive to accomodate daughters World of Warcraft, now the old harddrive has the operating system on one bit (5g) and the rest has the wifes stuff on it (full size 40G). Can I enlarge the 5G operating system to 10G as the latest xp updates are too big to fit on it at present, it will still give approx 30G for the wifes stuff. And if so how? Can I just do the same as when I split the 2nd harddrive ??? | Clod (7853) | ||

Look at the screen shots on the site - you want to shrink the larger partition at the beginning, allowing space to expand the smaller one afterwards. Like every thing to do with partition resizing, while it mostly goes Ok - best to back up any important data first just in case it turns to custard. |
