    Hello All,
    I have a notebook computer that came with the hard drive partitioned like this:
    1. Simple-Basic - EISA Configuration - 7.81 GB
    2. Drive C: Simple-Basic-NTFS - Primary Partition,Sys.,Boot,Page File - 52.14 GB
    3. Drive D: Simple-Basic-NTFS - Primary Partition - 51.84 GB
    My question is this, my notebook came pre-installed with ms windows vista home premium on it, the very first time I booted my computer up I was asked if I wanted to make a set of backup recovery disc's, which I of course did. Now my problem is my C: drive is running out of storage space, and I'm interested in obtaining more room. Either by having just one main primary partition, or by changing the size of the Drive D: partition. What's the safest and most efficient way to do this ? I know within vista itself there are ways to do some of this, is this the best way ?
    Thanks,
    David :)
