MS makes no software for non-destructive re-partitioning.
3rd party program is required to do this.
Partition Magic is the one usually recommended.
be sure and get version 8 with the updates

A third party program like Partition Magic, www.powerquest.com , will let
you resize your partitions. Be sure to back up your important data first if
you decide to buy and use the program. I suggest making (C) at least 5 to
8gigs.....maybe even 10gigs. Once that's done, uninstall all your other
programs from (C) except PM and divide the rest of the disk into 2 equal
partitions. One, (D), for your programs, the other, (E), for storage of
photos, music and important documents/data. You would then have nothing on
(C) but your OS with plenty of room to grow. One question though....what
happened to the other 18gigs?
