Partition Troubles

abfhand · 11-26-2008, 02:25 AM

Hello. I have a Seagate 250 g hdd and partitioned it to load windows xp pro. Used 9 gig partition. Didn't know that everything downloaded from then on would go into that smaller partition so now running out of space. My C drive is showing 128 gigs of free space. How do I capture that space into my smaller partition? I have tried diskpart.exe but cannot seem to get it to work right. Probably me!! I have acronis 9 but it asks for another hdd to be installed. Anyone ever had this problem? Appreciate any help. Will

this works kind of like partition magic but is free

download Gparted iso and burn to a disk. use imgburn if you need it
http://www.imgburn.com/
that will make a bootable cd. don't know if your 9gb follows and is adjacent to your C: for sure, so if you have any questions, post back. Always backup your data first, incase the unexpected happens.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone. Thanks. I did download the iso part of gpart and couldn't get it to open. I will download the zip file and see. I downloaded the free trial and noticed how easy the Acronis 10 manager was - However, unless you pay $50 bucks it doesn' take and reverts back to where it was. What kind of free trial was that?

Thanks again.
