Well, I recently had to reformat my computer. My hard drive came partitioned when I bought it, and the partitioned part of the drive, which is supposed to be used for back, is only about 5gb.

However, when I reinsalled, it selected the partition as the Main drive, and the other part of the Hard Drive as the partition. To some it up, my drive c: has a max free space of 2gb at any given time.

Is there anyway to switch which partition of the drive I use, without reformatting my computer?

Here's the computer specs:

Compaq Presario S4020WM
2.0GHz
128 mb ram
Windows XP Home Edition
S3 ProSavage3 Graphics Card (Onboard PCI)

Any tips and solutions are welcome.

Try Norton Ghost 10. Symantec bought Partition Magic and sandwiched it into Norton Ghost.

From a technical point of view, its a pain in the neck to use because it works through the Windows interface. You have to install it in order to use it. You wouldn't use it as a system builder plus I can't figure out how you would use version 10 with Linux since its Windows based.

Its very user friendly and should do exactly what you want to do--basically its mistake proof.

I installed Ghost 10 and for the life of me, I could find no way to build a Ghost floppy. Is there an option on the cd or something?

Ghost 7 fit on one floppy, Ghost 8 fits on two. So I usually burn 8 to the cd with the image and boot with a dos disk
