You can't, not easily. The partitions (D and C) are set up permanently. In order to change them, you would have to completely erase the hard drive and start over.

Its is possible by using partation magic

You can free space on a drive by deleting old and unnecessary files. Also you may split you partitions so that you make one partition bigger, it is risky however.

Why did your computer C drive name change?

I have a Hp pavillion with XP operating system. After my computer crashed, I used an XP operating disc to get it back up and running. Now my local disc (H:) drive appears to be my primary drive. But it has 7.59 GB of used space and only 423 MB of free space. My local disc (C:) drive has 1.48 GB of used space with 178 GB of free space. I get message stating that my memory is low on the local (H:) drive. Used disk clean up that only free up KB.

You can increase your D drive space from your C drive by typing in this command "em>partition" on your start menu. From there you will need to go under admin tools and select to extend your space.


If you only have 9 percent space free on your C Drive is there anyway you can free up space if you have already tried using disk defragmenter disk cleanup up and add or remove files?

well, first off disk defragmenter doesn't free up any hard drive space, it does what the name implies. Just defrags the memory on your computer. The only way to free up space on your computer is with add/remove programs. You then would remove certain programs you don't use anymore. You can change the drop down box to size so you can see which programs on you computer are taking up the most space then by deleting the ones you use less frequently you will free up hard drive space i.e C:\ see related links for a program which lets you see what is taking up space on your hard drive.


Can you resize drive C without reinstalling windows i want drive c have bigger volume so it is possible to just delete another drive for example drive D and add that volume to the drive C?

Drive C is a commonly used name which refers to the main location of storage contents on a hard drive. Hard drives have a pre-set amount of storage space, and there are two ways to increase storage space on a hard drive: 1. Purchase a new hard drive. In order to transfer necessary files from one hard drive to another, an intermediate storage medium is usually required before data from the original hard drive can be transferred to the new hard drive. 2. Clear unnecessary files from the hard drive. Drive D is usually partitioned away from the original amount of space on a hard drive, and is normally set aside to act as a recovery point for essential files and folders necessary to run the operating system. It is usually set aside in a manner that it cannot be recovered to Drive C, or a hard drive's main storage space.


Can Ubuntu be installed as a dual-boot operating system on a Windows PC where the hard disk drive is all ready full?

If the drive is completely full of data, then no. If, however, you're referring to the most common setup, where there is a single partition covering the entire drive, then you simply need enough free space on the partition, and the Linux installer will then repartition the drive out of the free space, and create a dual boot setup. You can right click on the main drive in Windows Explorer (typically C:), select properties, and see how much free space you have. If you have a few Gb's free, that's enough to get you a basic Linux setup.


How do you move space from one hard drive to the other I have a C drive with 14 Gb space and a DATA D drive with 23 Gb of space The C is 90 percent used while the data drive is only 25 percent used?

get a new pc, or at least a new hard drive! you can "move" space from one drive to another, but you can move files from one drive to the other. you could easily double your storage space for under $40


What can you do to free disk space on your C drive?

Buy another hard drive, or delete some of the content on your current one. You could also consider a disk defragement to free up some space, cleaning temporary files aswell. If you get a new hard drive make sure it uses the same connector type and you can either add it as a separate drive or you can move everything on the current one to a bigger on and end up with one big drive with free space and all the previous data on it.
