Hi all

Can somebody please help, I am running out of C drive space and I have loads
of spare space in my partitioned d drive.

How can I increase the size of the C partition.

Thanks John

John;
You can not do that with Windows native tools and preserve data, you need a
3rd party product:

Eliminating D will not have any effect on the size of C drive.

The easiest way to do it is using a special utility like Acronis
partition manager. Personally I use it, so I can tell you step by step
instruction for this software and you will see that it is really easy:
1.View ->Manual Mode.
2.Click right button on disk D -> Resize, make your D drive as you need
(size decreasing), press OK.
3.Click right button on disk C -> Move ->Next -> Make you C drive full
on the scale->press OK.
4.COMMIT (flag on the top toolbar).
