Yesterday, when I tried to install a new video editor on my laptop, I just found that my C drive has only 1GB of free space left. But, I had also checked the other partitions and found the F partition was nearly empty. So, I just want to emerge these two partitions for increasing the C drive space. Is that right? If not, how can I increase my C drive? Help me, please!
get Partition wizard home as a free version or even a boot CD of partition wizard. Find it the best and easiest for partitioning. If you resize the partitions with their being data on it, any program will take a longer time (moving data around). If you can take a backup of other non-OS partitions, then that is best. Then just format all the non OS partitions, resize and then move the data back.
I just did that in my XP through EaseUS Partition Master without any fuss. Download it free from partition-tool dot com [h=2]EaseUS Partition Master[/h][h=2]EaseUS Partition Master[/h]
In your case, there are always two ways for you to go on: 1). Back up your important data well , shrink this F partition and add all the unallocated space to your C drive simply by right clicking your C drive to highlight “Extend” option in Disk Management. 2). Increase you C drive space with some tools. But, if the “Extend” option is grayed out and cannot work, you also can use some partition resizing tool to take chances, like GParted, IM-Magic Partition Resizer Free and EaseUS Partition Master, etc. No matter which one you choose to use, you’d better firstly back up everything important in case of data loss.
May I ask what are using D: and E: drive letters? I assume D: is the cd/dvd drive. But what if anything is using E:? Resizing partitions will be a little more complex if E: happens to be another partition between C: and F:.
