Hello,

How do I re-size partitions in XP?

I installed Win98 then shrunk down in size using Partition Magic

Then I installed Win XP UPGRADE - which give sme dual-boot Win98
(never use) and Win XP (Default boot). Whne I run Win XP a pop-up
regularly says C: drive is "LOW DISK SPACE".

So how can I increase C: size to stop this error?

AND / OR

Find out what XP process is writing to the C: drive and re-direct it
to the partition XP is installed on??

I havre removed a smuch as I believe I can from the partition
containing Win98.

Thanks


Clive

Worthwhile information never goes amiss. Think before you respond.

You could always try Partition Magic again and put a little more space back
on to your "C" Drive,
deppending how large your Drive is in total of course................
Was not aware that Xp used any space on the previous Partition 'C' Only
space on the next partition which I would have thought would be 'D', it
should put all refereces to itself in its own Windows Dir.
Best of good luck in all you do

Hi

I installed Partition Magic 8.0 under Windows XP Pro

PM8.0 tells me the C: Partition is sized approx 7.5 GByte

However, PM also says C: drive has used 617Mbyte and 31 Mbytes are
unused. WinXP My Computer comes upo with the same stats for C: size.

So what has happened to the remaining 6.8 GByte on disk partition C:
? How do I get this space back and use this space?


Thanks

An update to this

I resized the C: partition using PM 8.0 under Win XP, by making it a
couple of hundred Mb smaller.

Now , Win XP and Partition Magic agree on the C: partition size, used
space and free space.

Hence, WinXP can write secretly whatever it wants in the C: drive

Job done.

Any idea how I find out what WinXP process is writing to the C:
partition?

Clive
