I had the same problem and, while I couldn't figure out how to do it without reformatting my computer, I did eventually reformat and allocated only 5GBs of the 60GBs I have to the D drive during the process. Not only did reformatting get rid of all the old junk and speed up my computer, but now I have those extra 30GBs of space to use.

I have a laptop vaio vgn-a190 and it has the drive partitioned. The problem is, is that the c drive is full and there is 55 gigs on the partioned part labeled drive d. How do I take all that free space in drive d and put it in drive c?

You should be able to right click on the unallocated partition, mark it as active, and then format it. It should then appear as another drive.

Leo,

I had a similar problem and when I opened the disk management (XP-SP2) per your direction, I show 2.93 gig on my C drive NTFS partition -"Healthy (System)", but then show 6.43 gig "unallocated". That unallocated space doesn't show up anywhere in windows explorer. I originally partitioned the drive with the intention of putting the OS on the C drive and have everything else on the other drive, but I must not have done it correctly because there is no other drive that shows up in windows explorer. What do I need to do now to get access to or use the rest of the space?
