Swap drives

Sponsored Links
Hello,
I get a "Low disk space" message for my C: drive; it's 28GB with only 945MB free. I have an internal I: drive; 298GB with 296GB free. I want to swap the drives [make the I: drive the C: drive and vice versa; so my C: drive will be 298GB with 271GB free]. Can this be done, if so how?
Also, I would like to enlarge both the system and cache memory from 512MB to 1GB. Same questions.
I'm using Windows XP Professional on a Sony Vaio (about seven years old). I added the I: drive.
Thank you for your help.

Re: Swap drives

well for solving your problem you can use GParted application software. It is a free utility and you can download it from its official site.
You can achieve the following thing using this software.
1. Create partition tables (e.g., msdos, gpt)
2. Enable and disable partition flags (e.g., boot, hidden)
3. Perform actions with partitions such as:

* create or delete
* resize or move (while preserving data)
* check
* label
* copy and paste

Re: Swap drives

Hello there, if you are not aware on how to go about with the swapping, then you must not play about with the same. I suggest you to get some professional help for the same. Call your computer engineer for the same.
