603576	2007-10-20 22:45:00	My hard drive has two partitions, one with too much space, the other with to little. Is there a free program that will allow me to reset the space in the partitions? Many thanks, Pat.	Pat (6829)

603578	2007-10-20 23:00:00	This one is free Partition Logic (http://partitionlogic.org.uk/) As Betch said back up your data first, just in case something goes wrong.	wainuitech (129)

Hope this helps...Windows setup can only do destructive repartitioning, it can't resize them (not sure about vista though, but certainly none of the other versions).	Erayd (23)
