hkspike Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Could somebody please explain to me how to use Vista's built in partition management? My son's pc was set up with around 118Gb of space on the C drive and 180Gb on the D - both partitions on one drive. Copious amounts of games has used up most of C and very little homework resides on D. So I want to move some of D into C. Using Computer / Manage, I can shrink the D partition and that gives me spare space but it sits to the right of D and I cannot see a way to move it to the left of D so I can expand C into it.Must be a way and I'm sure you'll know it. Thanks! Quote
kkehoe Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 You could back up the data on D:, delete that partition, expand C:, then recreate D:. I think that's the only way you'll get around it.Kevin Quote
