Unhappy Adding more space to my C drive from D Drive

I currently have only one hard drive (1TB) installed on my computer but when I had partitioned the drive a had made a 12GB C drive and the rest of the 1TB is the D drive...

My question is how do I add more free space to my C drive from my D drive with out having to reformat or delete?

Hi there

You can use third party patition software like patition magic or other programs like that. From my knowledge of using these types of program you don't need to reformat a hard drive.

Give it ago and let me know how you get on.

Nites2k, james is correct about using such software to remove that partition, or even combine them, back into a single drive. However, please be advise that even when the applications say applications and data are safe, please please please do backup personal data off of those two partitions. I figured I just say that when I saw this post.

You can go with the paid versions like Partition Magic, but there are also so freebies like Acronis. Even Norton (NOOOOO) has one out there. Me, I go free no matter what, but it does depend on the options you need.

Good luck.
