REVscene Automotive Forum - View Single Post - Is it possible to increase partition of HDD without reinstalling/reformating?

I only gave my C: partition 30gb initially. Thinking that should be enough since I only intended to have windows installed in there.

But it turns out that I like to leave icons all over my desktop, which is part of C: so I really do need more space. C: gets used up quite a bit too for just background temp stuff, like Photoshop, transfering files, etc.

I've been trying to extract something big to another partition that has enough space, but it automatically extracts to C: first as a temp area.
Which C: doesn't have enough space.

So I want to make my partition for C: bigger... but is there a way without
removing everything from the HDD and reformating?
