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

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.
