TTQ B4U Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I'm in a pinch with HD Space. I have a 200gb drive partitioned from the factory into a small 14gb C drive and 166gb on what's labled a D Drive. I've managed for years as I installed most of my apps on the D partition and keep my files on external drives. Now I'm at a point where my C drive is down to 1.5gb and that's not good. Is there a way to re-partition drives without wiping them? In other words, can I make my C drive like 50gb and make the D drive smaller without erasing either or both? I could blow them both away and start over, but man, that's a PIA and I'm looking for a bit of an easier way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rch10007 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Do you have restore turned on? If so, you can turn that off and erase all your backup files. that will probably clean up alot of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGU Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 download ubuntu and put it on a dvd and use parted and it will re size the partition without losing data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
