Hi Any,
12 megabyte is an extremely small hard drive by today's standards.
One can only therefor assume that when the system was set up, Windows
decided on what was best if it was decided to have two partitions.

Hi all -
Thanks to all that have helped with this one, it seems Partition Magic
is the more straightforward option; wonder why manufacturers allow
such small space for the drive allocated for the OS system. Does
anybody know how much space XPHome requires for an installation
anyway?-
Andy

Andy, has someone suggested partition magic for resizing
partitions? It works on the fly so you don't lose or damage info on
the partitions you are altering.

Hi Amro -
No, unfortunately it seems that resizing drives is pretty much
out of the question, unless one goes back to a clean install etc, and
I don't fancy doing that! -

Hi Andy, have a look at Norton Partition Magic. Highly
recommended. The version I have is 8.0 and I think this is the latest
version. However, Norton Partition Magic isn't free and I'm afraid I'm
not sure if you can resize hard drive from within Windows itself
without the need for additional utilities as such.
HTH,
Amro

size on hard drive?
Hi all -
My Asus netbook has a 12GB hard drive; the
c:drive is 4GB, and the d:drive 8GB; my XP OS is on the c:drive, and I
keep getting a message telling me that capacity on that drive is very
low, and to create more space. There's not much I can move from the C
to the D drive, so wondered instead about increasing the capacity of
the C drive, and reducing that of the D drive. I don't know how to do
this, so can anybody get me started?
Thanks -
Andy
