My HDD is 80 GB which is divided in 4 drives. The C drive is only 10 GB (1.8 GB free space). Can I know how to get space from other drives in C? F drive is 30GB, E is 30 GB and D is 10 GB respectively. I need to free up or at least take some space from other drives so that I can install Microsoft Visual Studio to practice .NET. Please reply, my projects are getting delayed. If shifting space in C drive is not possible then I could possibly free up some space (But I uninstalled all useless programs still only 2GB only left).

OS- Windows XP sp2 :)
 
Uninstall some programs through control panel > add remove programs. Also download ccleaner to get rid of trash. Also consider a new hard drive, or at least not 4 partitions on an 80gb.....

I can't help you with this but there are programs that will tak free space from one partition, delete it, and add it onto other partitions. Maybe someone else can suggest a good one.
 
I agree another drive would be best alternative. You have a primary c:, extended and a couple logical drives within the extended. You have to delete the logical drive or (s) and add back to the extended then add back to the primary. You can do with boot disk using fdisk or check here from Cnet for lots of free programs. just make sure its says free if thats what ya want, for your operating system like xp 32 bit. I always used boot disk but have used partition magic but was not free.

my suggestion is get another drive. move the files to the other drive then remove logical drives and extended and add it all back to the primary if wanted.
