trying to format my vista laptop
I have a 70 GB C: partition and a 70 GB D: partition. Thus total 140 gb. The C: doesn't have much space left and the D: mostly free. I tried to re-allocate most of the D: to the C:. I was able to create a E: with 38GB, but don't want that. I want 2/3 D: to go to the C:. I didn't back up the 'puter before trying to re-PARTITION (dummy me).

So, how do I re-allocate the phantom "E" drive over to the C:?

Again, had 70 in C and 70 in D. Or is there two hard drives?

I want to move storage from D: to C:

I tried to paste the system stats...couldn't

Thus now I have 70 GB C: 35 GB D: and 35 out floating in ether?

If you go to computer management and select disk management you can see how many drives you actually have.

What did you use to reallocate space from D:? Are you just using Windows Disk Management? If so, the problem with that is you'll have no access to the system drive since that's the drive you're booted to. So there's no way you'll be able to extend that free space to your C:. You'll have to boot to something outside of the OS you're using.

You can use a program like Partition Magic, which will do what you're wanting. But you've got to pay for it.

I've used the free version of this software before, and it was pretty simple...
