Disc Partitions
 
I've currently got 2x80Gb SATA disks as a RAID0 Array Partitioned to provide
C 10Gb
F 40Gb
G 100Gb
Unallocated 10Gb
Operating System WinXP Home

I would like to get this 10Gb into use. Attached to F as I have my iTunes folder on this drive and it's running out of room (the iPod is 40Gb and getting full).

How do I attach this 10Gb to another partition. Do I need to buy Partition Magic?

If I wanted to move 10 Gb from the G to the F or create a new 40Gb iTunes partition is that possible?

Back up the G drive and remove it.

Backup the f drive and remove it or use partition magic to extend it.

The re-create the g drive.

HTH

Suggestions for where to back up the 50Gb of data on it. Thats 12+ DVD's!

Can I not do this without backing up - all but the essential stuff on some drives?

Is partition magic the way to do this or can you do it from command line?

We heard you the first time Neil :)

Edit : spoil sport - you removed it :D

----------------------------------------

You are going to need partition magic to resize if you cant back up the info.

Xp disk management cannot resize without removing the data.

Huh?

Being as I need to buy PM - is it easier just to buy another 80Gb HDD? Probably about the same price!
