Tulip,

If you use partition magic, you can resize your partitions without reformatting them... and you can give D drive some more space from C.

It's fairly easy to use.

You can buy it here:

and via torrent you could probably illegally download it.

I keep my computer partitioned... but basically, my C drive is - windows ONLY.

I tell every program that I install to install itself on D drive.

then I have a raid set of harddrives that I put all my data/photos/etc on...

That way I can reformat windows on C drive and still have everything else.

The thing I've noticed about windows xp is that no matter how big you make C drive, xp will eventually expand to fill it up.

You can move your thunderbird email folder to D drive and keep all your emails.

I'll look at up in a second, you can also usually delete all the windows xp updates - it downloads them, installs them, and doesn't delete the updates. That usually frees up a fair amount of space.
