Hi guys, I need to take some space from my d drive and add it to my c
drive - am getting blue screen of death and am assuming this is partly
related to the fact that I have only 5% of free space on the main c
drive. Disk Management doesn't have an option that I can see to change
the volume of partitions - any suggestions on how to do this?

Win 2000, 115 gig hard drive, 512 meg ram.

Thanks in advance,
Jo

Windows has a swap file, sounds like that has run out of space, you can
go into the settings and point it to D: instead then reboot.

If you still have un-allocted space I would suggest making an E: drive
and dedicating that to the swap file, around 1 gig is heaps.

And run that Start accessories system tools drive cleanup wizard.
Free NTFS resize is available on Knoppix. Qtparted works well. Don't
forget to backup first.

Also turn off the Hibernate thing, as that can be a 1gig file or more..

But on my system it keeps tuning itself back on..

Thanks all - am working through the suggestions and things are improving.

Cheers,
