Here's an extract: For home users, EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition is totally free to let you enlarge or reduce any FAT32/NTFS partition on your hard drive with its main function Resize/Move in Windows 2000/XP/Vista.
I've always found it to be reliable but no guarantees. As always - backup critical files before using.

Thanks Valerie very much. Will it corrupt the system files or other files that are already on Drive C:, or does it increase the size without harming those files or that portion of the disc? TIA

Why do you want to increase C? Install your programs on D.

I have read that when a partition gets over 75% full that it slows down your work. The C: Drive was created too small to begin with. I wanted to expand it by 10 or so gigabytes. Also some programs do not allow you to choose another drive than C: to install in. While I try to keep the system partition strictly for the system, some programs just install in C: I do have two more drives on this computer and they are partitioned to be Data, Backup, Adobe PS Scratch Disk, Temporary and Photos. I just wanted to expand C: a little so it won't bog down. I a few partitions because it allows me to defrag and Scandisk faster. Thanks Othe Hill for your input. I respect your thoughts.

I've used EASEUS Partition Manager myself to accomplish the same goal on numerous occasions -- you can't go wrong with it.
