  Old  Quick Question (hard drive)

Hey guys,
I recently bought a new computer and it has 3 seperate partions. The one holding windows is only 5gb and I have my other hard drive at 300gb. How would I go about adding more space to the windows partion without losing data?

Is there a program that allows me to do this?

Vista has a easy partition manager built in. And why do you need more windows space? Just have everything pointing to the other partition. Will save u getting so many viruses and such.

I'm not using Vista. TinyXP. Occassionally when I download a file and save it to my Vault drive (270gb) and try to open the application is says it cannot run the file. Could be TinyXP as i've never used it, but I thought it might be the hard drive.

I just bought the PC yesterday.

EDIT: Also when I tried to install Elder Scrolls it said it couldn't install because there was not enough diskspace and it didn't give me an option to select where to install.

Nevermind. Changing the directory of the temp folder seeemed to have solved it all. The temp folder was originally on the windows partition and since there was no space left, that would be the reason it couldn't install. I changed the directory and problem solved.
