My father has a computer with Win XP Home upgraded from Win ME and it was
done by setting up a partition drive. His problem is that one of the
partitions is very small and keeps running out of space. Is there any free
software out there that he can use to allocate more space to one of the
partitions.

Thanks Tim.
 
The only way you can create, delete, resize or merge existing partitions,
and not harm your existing Windows installation, is to purchase and use
a third-party partitioning program such as Partition Magic 8.

The alternative is to perform a "clean install" of Windows XP:

Hi,

BootITNG www.terbayteunlimited.com
Ranish www.ranish.com/part

The first one is free to use for the first 30 days, and can be used to
resolve the issue. If you wish to continue using it after, the program is
well worth the price. You don't need to install it, you can just work from
the boot floppy after cancelling installation.

The second is a free program that I understand can help you with this as
well, though I've not used it myself.
