Possible to safely change size of partition? Windows XP, NTFS

Possible to safely change size of partition? Windows XP, NTFS I currently have a 160GB drive partitioned as C: (Windows, Primary) and D: (data). I was a terrible estimator in the beginning, and the C: drive is approaching capacity, whereas I have ~35GB spare on the data drive.

Yes - you can use Partition Magic or the like to do this. Defragmenting your drive first should give you a bit more space at the end of the drive to work with.

You can also use a free program called NTFSResize, available on a bootable SystemRescueCD.

"It's not free, but Terabyte Software's BootIt NG app is really good and inexpensive at about $35. I'm using it mainly for the boot manager feature which makes running multiple operating systems more convenient, but it also handles resizing partitions with ease.

(I'm not affiliated with them in any way. Just a happy customer)"
