When I originally installed my Master hard drive I prtitioned it 40% - 60% for drive C and D.  The OS is on C as are the program files.  Now I am getting messages stating that I have inadequate drive space for new programs on C,  while D still has 80% (of original 60% ) available.   So I would like to back up and erase the data on drive D and re-partition the master drive to 70% - 30%.   Can I do this without having to reformat drive C and re-install my OS and all of the Program Files?

I am running Windows XP SP-3

On a  1.30 gigahertz AMD Athlon XP
64 kilobyte primary memory cache
512 kilobyte secondary memory cache

I have two 80 Gbyte hard drives
Master drive partioned 40/60 (as mentioned previously)
Slave partitioned 50/50

Is there a program out there somewhere that would allow me to do this?
Thanks for reading,   JIM

    Easus Partition Manager can probably do this (here).

    Backup... backup... backup...

    Good luck.
