Hi

I have two partitions on primary disk with a free space between the two as
below;


Is there anyway I can expand E drive space to include the free space without
reinstalling win xp from scratch?

Thanks

Regards

Unfortunately, no version of Windows before Vista provides any way of
changing the existing partition structure of the drive nondestructively. The
only way to do what you want is with third-party software. Partition Magic
is the best-known such program, but there are freeware/shareware
alternatives. One such program is BootIt Next Generation. It's shareware,
but comes with a free 30-day trial, so you should be able to do what you
want within that 30 days. I haven't used it myself (because I've never
needed to use *any* such program), but it comes highly recommended by
several other MVPs here.

Whatever software you use, make sure you have a good backup before
beginning. Although there's no reason to expect a problem, things *can* go
wrong.

I have vista on a secondary drive but it only allows to expand C drive but
not E drive for some reason.

Besides third-party partition tools, you could consider backing up C and E
to an external hard drive, remove all partitions, create new ones, then
perform a restore for each partition.

By sure to make partition images, not a single disk image, since the latter
would preserve the free space.
