| 719247 | 2008-11-10 20:48:00 | Is there any way of increasing the size of my boot partition on a xp machine without haveing to start from scratch. I have a 250gb hd, I set up a boot partition of 20gb last year. I have since realised it would have been better to have had no partition, now I am running out of disk space on drive C only 3gb left. I have just loaded a new graphics program and a lot of the files that are needed are stored on C: | Saphire (14302) | ||
| 719248 | 2008-11-10 21:15:00 | Get Gparted http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ I used it to put another partition on my 500gb HD. Didn't lose any data. You have to download the ISO of it then burn it to cd. :) |

Some People also use Gparted (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/) - also free. Just make sure you back up any data before changing partition sizes as sometimes things do go wrong - better to be safe than sorry. |

| 719253 | 2008-11-10 23:03:00 | I've never used EPM, just downloaded it and tried the free version out cause I was having trouble with GParted, worked a charm, and the GUI is very user friendly too. Highly recommended. :banana You've bought the paid verison wainui? I'm guessing it's worth it just for the boot disk option. :p |
