| Changing size of partitions The hard disc in my Everex XT5000T notebook is a 100GB Fujitsu. It has two equal 50GB size partitions. The notebook OS is Vista Home Premium. Is there a way to do away with the second partition (D:\) and make the Fujitsu only have a single 100GB C:\ partition without losing Vista and my other software programs presently on the first partition, Drive C:\?

| Partition Magic is an oldie but goodie. I still use it from time to time. There may be some newer programs now that are more current - I believe I've heard of Acronis being used by members here at the forum.

| Acronis true image version 10 will handle Vista nicely. I dont know if they have a version of PM that supports Vista yet. I strongly recommend you dont use Ghost.

I was using the gui version, not the DOS, but it just reboots into PCDOS anyway. Acronis on the other hand had no problems.

| I used PM on my Vista partition to increase the size...I originally set it at the recommended size and it ate it up - had to change it...  I know it's an old program, but it worked flawless for me - didn't affect the operation of Vista at all. If I was interested in the latest, I'd be looking hard at Acronis. Ranish sounds interesting too (never heard of that one). If PR likes it, that's a pretty good recommendation...
