No interpersonal skills, eh Hugh? Ignorance is excusable and you missed a

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.
