Increase size of c:drive partition

My hard drive is divided in 2 partitions. I need to
increase the size of C: partition. Is this possible with
out reinstalling XP pro?

basically yes although not natively with the OS
one way of doing it is to use a relatively cheap but good product called
Acronis Partition Manager

I have used Partition Magic for years and have had very
few problems with it. In my experience, at least with the
pre 8.0 versions of Partition Magic, everything should be
okay if you do not move the starting sector of your boot
(C partition. In your case, I would plan on moving the
start of my second partition and reducing the size of the
second partition to free up some expansion space. After I
have done that and I have verified that the system still
works, I would then expand the boot partition to utilize
the new free space and increase the size of the C: drive.

There are probably other ways and other products to do the
same thing, and Partition Magic version 8 and XP might
provide more options than what I have been used to working
with in previous versions of both products.

www.bootitng.com (Boot It NG aka BING) works for me!
