    Using XP SP2 on a Dell xps 400.
    The HD has a "C" and "D" partition. XP and all program files are on "D" and all data is on "C". I have run out of room (less that 5%) on "D". But have plenty of space on "C". I need to load some new programs.
    Is there a way to get more space for "D" without the pain of a reinstall of XP?

    Thanks>

    May I suggest using G-parted resize,delete,add etc..
    Make sure you back up all that data on C (or at least make sure you know you are not overwriting info when you resize the partition) ALSO: make sure you do not overwrite your recovery partition(if installed)

    Warning: you can brick your system easily with this tool make sure you read and understand what you are doing before hitting that OK button..
