I have XP Pro on an 80GB HDD, which I am finding a bit
unmanagable. I would like to reduce C: to about 20GB and
put relatively static data in other partitions.

Do I have to buy Partition Magic (or similar) or is there
another option? Other postings in this group have said to
right-click on My Computer and select Manage (for new
disks, I think). I could not find anything in that area.

Thanks in advance
Jim
 
The only way you can delete, create, resize or merge existing partitions,
and not harm your existing Windows XP installation, is to use
a third-party partitioning program such as Partition Magic 8
(www.powerquest.com).
