I have a hard disk of around 40Gb and partitioned it to the following:
Drive C:5Gb
Drive E:16Gb
Drive F:19GbNow my problem is that I installed my OS (windows Xp) to the Drive C: which is wrong because now im experiencing "Low Disk Capacity" my Drive E: acts as my "warehouse" or where i put stuffs and docs etc. and my Drive F: is not in use.
What i want to do is to copy the Win Xp OS and all the installed stuff from Drive C: going to my Drive F: and make everything boot in Drive F:
Is it possible??????
Easeus Partition Master will probably re-size your partition(s) allowing you to increase the capacity of C: If you don't want to do that you could try cloning C: to F:, perhaps using XXClone which can make the target bootable.
EPM is available from http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Par...
XXClone is available from http://www.xxclone.com/idwnload.htm
Both are free for personal use. Before starting any partitioning operation you should backup your critical files.
Please note that I have no affiliation with Easeus or
XXClone.Good luck
Hmm ok then ill try increasing my partition instead. since cloning it would take much time
ill try do what you suggested and ill get back to you
Still open for more suggestions and help thank you ^_^
the easiest solution would be to copy what is one drive E: to Drive F: Delete the Drive C: and E: partitions and recreate another single Partition of 21 Mbs and reinstall Windows. Drive F: will then become Drive E: I take it Drive D: is your CD/DVD drive.
5 Mbs is way to small for Windows XP. 10 Mbs at the very least,

@Wahine
im having hard time copying an turning that copied system to be bootablleill try your second suggestion of cloning it
@Stuart
ill try yours if the prev suggstions dosent worki was thinking installng win 7 instead
I think there was a little typo in #3 and this is what was intended: "5 GB is way to small for Windows XP. 10 GB at the very least"
Couldn't agree more.
Yes, it should have been 10 GB. If you are thinking of installing Windows 7 I would give some serious consideration to getting a bigger hard disk, 20 GB is not very much at all these days.

I decided to stay with XP since i haven't got a larger HDD yet. so i just cloned my system drive and placed it in a larger partition of 10Gb as you have told me to. It runs a little slower than when i havent done anything yet but its bearable ^_^
