Allocating "Unallocated" space

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

On a WinXP Pro with all current paches,
I installed a 75GB drive, allocated 20GB to one partition, and 10GB to
another, leaving 45GB unallocated.
I thought I could allocate the remaining space to one or the other partition
when I determined which one needed it. I cannot find an way to do that now.
Can I not increase the allocation to an existing partition?

Hello,

With windows itself no, you have to get powerquest partition magic or other
similar to it, because windows don´´t allow you to just allocate free space
to partition...

Thanks Andre'
I suspected that was the case, but wasn't confident...
now, I used to have a copy of Partition Magic around here somewhere------
