My son has a hard drive with two fat32 partitions. One is the c: boot drive and the second is the d: drive. The d: drive is 90% full and the c: drive is 20% full so I would like to resize these two partitions to make d: bigger and c: smaller. I went to download.com and the program Partition Resizer seems to be what I need, but I thought I would ask here to see if anyone has any advice on the matter first. Thanks.

I'm not familiar with that software, but if it will do the job, go ahead. I use Partiton Magic, but you have to buy the software.

Why resize the partion I would tell your son to use the "c" partion in a similar way like "d" or delete oder deinstall some not used programms or games on partition "d". The Resize carries much more risks then his managment of the space.

His D drive is the media server for our house and is shared by the other computers so I would rather not have its contents split up between it and C.
I ran Partition Resizer a while ago and it worked great. No problems. Took about an hour.

Partition Resizer worked for me when i used it, but i agree with above. C: is your bootup and more important then other drive. If something goes wrong with the resizer your out both C and D and lose all the data.
My advice is buy a second HD, copy all of D over to it for the family drive. That way if your son hurts c: for any reason you still have the D: HD and can place in any PC.
but resizer should do what your asking just increase the D and C will decrease.
