I presently dual boot to drives 'C' and 'D'. Partition information is as
follows:

C: 1 A Pri dos 2047 Fat 16 5%
Ext dos 37150 95%

D: 37150 Fat 32 100%

C (Win 98) is used solely for a drawing system, D (XP Pro) for all other
rogrammes.

I want to increase the volume of C and reduce D. Does this mean that I must
start from scatch which involves reloading all programmes or is there another
way to change the volumes without losing information.

Hi

You would be better using a 3rd party program such as Partition Magic:

Use a 3rd party program to non destructively resize the partitions. Two
choices are partition magic or BootIt NG which has a 30 day full
featured free trial.

BootItNG (www.bootitng.com) is a solid and reliable partitioning
utility that includes a full functioning 30 day trial.

Good luck
