In article <471227BB.D06B1913@xxxxxxx>, NoSpam@xxxxxxx says...
Last month I installed Win-XP ... for the first time. The last Win I hadThere is a free partition editor, Parted, that you run from a booting
experience with was v3.1, and a lot has changed since then, apparently. I put
the OS and about a dozen video card & motherboard apps. in a 2 GB partition of a
700GB drive; the rest of the drive is unpartitioned. Data is on a separate hard
drive.
Now the 2 GB Win-XP partition is bursting at the seams and I want to expand it.
But no!! Can't expand the OS partition, says Win-XP. So am I well and truly
screwed? Or is there a way to increase that 2 GB partition *WITHOUT*
re-installing Win-XP and all those apps? (^%$#! Micro$oft ... mutter-mutter!)

floppy. Google for it, I believe you can "grow" a partition, but read
instructions well.
