I know its confusing but:

I have 80gigs of hd space divided into 10/20/20/25. Got xp installed already and all other stuff I needed.

Now, my question is how do I take the 10/20/20/25 and make it into 15/15/20/25? I used to know of such a program that could do that.
I really dont wanna install xp all over again......

Any help would be much appreciated :)

Partition Magic

Partition Magic is the only app I know of that can do that. But, just from personal experience, it isn't always 100% successful at resizing partitions and can corrupt data on those partitions that are resized.

100% true

i tried partition magic few times, once or twice, it corrupted both partitions, so be careful

vista also has a build in resize option

Thanks for the info. I managed to find one though, called Paragon Partition Manager. Worked like a charm :)

Thanks for the effort guys/gals :)

Stick with Paragon. Norton/Symantec, whoever they are, will most likely corrupt your data. It happened to me before too.
