Same rules apply, but it's spelled out here for Windows 7.

Hi George.

Thanks for that.

However, I believe it only applies to Windows XP and I'm running
Windows 7.

Will be handy for my other computer though.

Cheers
Darren

Subject: [ddots-l] OT resizing a hard disc partition

Hi folks.

I've just bought a new system with a 2 terabyte hard disc.

It is currently partitioned so that 60GB is held for Programms etc and
the rest is for data and files.

For some reason it has been set up so that the regular documents and
settings, my documents, my music etc is on the C drive with the
operating system and programmes, and the larger partition is simply
acting like a blank disc.

How can I either...

1.  Set up the hard drive so that documents and settings etc are on
the larger partition.  Or...

2.  Resize the partition so that the C drive has more space.

Any other ideas would be really appreciated.

If it makes a difference, it is running Windows 7 64 byt.

Cheers
Darren
