hard disk capacity division in Asus G1

Hi guys,

I just have a question is there any way by chance to organized my drive C capacity to a bigger capacity without having to reinstalling windows. Cause since the first time I got my G1, the hard disk has already been divided into to, drive C with a capacity of 90 GB and there's another called DATA which has a capacity of 60 GB. How do I reduce the capacity on the drive DATA so it will only be 5 GB and take the remaining capacity into the C drive??? Thanks

 

IN vista you can do it easily.
1. Go to Start
2. Right click My Computer
3. Select Manage
4. Expand "Storage" in the Computer management Console
5. Select Disk Management
6. Right click any of the available volumes or partitions in the right pane of the Disk Management Console
7. Select "Expand" to increase its size or "Shrink" to reduce its size
8. Enter the size (in MB) that you would like to modify the volume or partition to.
9. Click Expand or Shrink to activate the modification

 

I still use windows XP though.. to scared to update to Vista

 

For XP you will need to get a third party partition utility. Which can perform the task.
If you don't want to get a commercial utility then use can use a free one : http://man.linux-ntfs.org/ntfsresize.8.html Will be complex for you.

Or try to locate a free Hiren bootdisk.

It has the utility to resize your partition. Plus other stuff.

Ok found you a download link as well http://maxt.dk/archives/2007/03/12/hirens-bootcd-89/
enjoy.

 

partition magic is the one most people use I think.

 

Say you wanted to divert everything to one disk drive. Would you loose all your data on D if you merge all of its space to C?

 

Well... you can only merge freespace without issues. If you don't want to lose data then you could try to merge the freespace on D to C first. Move data to C from D. Then merge the rest of freespace from D.
