Resizing drives in vista

[swamprat70]

Hello,
MyAcer Aspire 4330 has 150 GB hard drive split equally between C: and D: drives. I need to expand the size of C: (without losing data) and reduce the size of D: I know I can shrink D: using Disk Management. Will this increase the size of C: or how do I go about increasing C: Suggestions?

Yes, you can shrink the size of the D drive (the back up partition), but be careful, as you may end up wiping it. Then you can add the freed up space to your primary partition, as the freed up space will showed up as unallocated, which you can then add to whatever partition you want.

Thanks for the advice. I did shrink the volume (D and had no problem. However, when I tried to add the unallocated space to C:, the option, expand volume is greyed out. Is there a way to allow this option to be used?
