How do I increase the space in C: > without damaging the contents? To non-destructively repartition... You'd need a third party utility such as Server Magic. It's still a good idea to have a backup

Sorry, a little late to the party, but you might want to review my web page on boot drive size. http://www.lwcomputing.com/tips/static/bootdrivesize.asp There are absolutely instances where you want to expand the drive in some way, but I find most people who ask this question just need to move data files off the drive and they'll have plenty of space and reduce the risk of something unexpectedly filling up C:. -Lee
