I have a laptop which I thought only had 12mb on the hard drive. Well I have just found a partition which has an extra 6mb of space on it. The c:\ (12mb) is nearly full (11mb used) so the performance is not good so I want to move the extra 6mb on to the c:\ partition.

I have already defragmented it, but it says it cannot degrament any more because there is not enough space.

If I use a partition program (e.g. Partiton Logic) - can I use these kind of programs without having to move my data from the c:\ ?

Is there a good free Partition program that I can use? - I don't know what program is best but I don't want to pay to buy stuff like Partition Magic.

Do you mean Gigs? 6 Megabytes isn't much at all, and neither is 12.

Odds are that is your recovery partition. Mess with it and if you ever need to restore your system to factory defaults you are SOL.

Consider instead uninstalling unused programs and clearing out files you don't use to a usb stick/burn to cd instead.

Use Ranish and other partitioning softwares at your own risk. If this 6gig partition is BEFORE the c: you will toast [render nonbooting] your laptop trying to include it.

Yep, I do mean Gigs.

"Consider instead uninstalling unused programs and clearing out files you don't use to a usb stick/burn to cd instead."

I've done that. It freed up 1Gig but still it needs more space.

Have you moved all of your data to the second partition?
