Hello,
I have Windows 98 installed on my C drive and Windows XP installed on my D drive. My C drive is 7GB and D drive is 8GB. I hardly used Windows 98, but I want to keep it.
I want to increase size of D drive and decrease C drive without affecting other drives (E, F, G, etc)
How can I do that? Is Partition Magic the tool or is there any other good tool?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 8.0

EASEUS partition master works better than Partition Magic. Partition Magic hasn't been upgraded for years and what can you expect from this out-of-date partition software?

You can also visit the official site of EASEUS partition master at their official site http://www.partition-tool.com/

Yes, their EASEUS partition master home edition is free for home users.

Partition Magic got no problem in solving your problem since it support 98 and XP.

Partition Magic is $69, Acronis Disk Director is $49, Paragon Partition Manager is $39.

If you already have a Partition Magic, then you can use your old Partition Magic to resize your partitions.

If you do not have one, then I don't think it is smart to purchase Partition Magic since it does not support VISTA and is the most expensive among the three.

I think Acronis is good.

BTW, I found a tutorial to use Acronis to resize partitions.

Please do not confuse "memory" with "storage". Memory is the solid state "chips" that are on boards attached directly to the motherboard. Storage is the space on your hard drive use to store programs and data. I recommend Easeus Partition Manager - If you have a D partition you free up space on the D and then expand the C partition space. It takes two or three steps to do it.

Good Luck
