    This doesn't make sense. How can you use free space on another drive to expand drive C:? The only way to do this would be to either move some files off of drive C to the other drive, or to copy all of drive C to a bigger drive. Now, if you're referring to the fact that you have one hard drive and it's divided into 2 or more partitions, you should have stated that in your first post. Lets say you have an 80gb drive in two 40gb partitions; one is drive C and the other is drive D. Drive C is almost full, but drive D is empty. You can use a utility to safely expand C by shrinking D; I have done this many times using BootIT-NG's boot floppy. It has a resize option. However, if there is data on drive D, the operation may not go smoothly, or the data on D may be wiped out; on the other hand, it might work perfect. For best results, run a full chkdsk /r and a defrag on drive D (and C) before doing any partition work. I have never used Paragon so I can't comment. Try their web site. They have an extensive knowledge base and community forums that should be helpful http://www.paragon-software.com/support/ Look at the self-support section.
    Anyway- if you have two hard drives, and drive C: is full, and the other drive isn't, there is nothing you can do to make drive C bigger without moving data off of it, or moving all the data to a bigger drive.

    Good luck!
    Oh yeah, here's the link to BootIT-NG http://www.majorgeeks.com/BootIt_Next_Generation_d646.html

    dlb is quite correct. I too know of no utility that will "take space from one hard disk and apply it on another hard disk".

    I have Paragon HD Manager 8.5. As can be seen from the screenshot, it only allows moving space on one hard disk. (I chose Hard Disk 1 (of 0,1,& 2), partition "D" to enlarge, then clicked NEXT. The only available choices to take space from are the other partitions on that same hard disk.)
