How do I increase my primary FATS partition size that contains my NT 4.0 SP6
system files? I have plenty of room on the rest of the disk, formatted in
NTSF. Can this be done without reformatting and having to reload the system?

It can only be done with 3rd party utilities like Partition Magic. You would
do it from a dos boot and not from within NT. You would also have a full
backup!!!

Highly suggest you backup what is on d: and with Disk Administrator delete
the d: from within NT. Then run PM and expand into the available space.
BE WARNED!!! Do not exceed 7.8gig or you can render your NT system
nonbooting. This is due to a ntfs/bios boot bug.
Your least risky course of action would be to move files and folders to d:
and simple reestablish sharepoints.
