I have a WIN95 computer that has a 2.5GB hard drive. It is partitioned c:1.3GB and d: 1.2 GB. (It came this way from the VAR.) The d drive is empty and the c drive is full. Is there a utility whereby I can add the d drive space to the cdrive partition wothout detstroying the data and OS on the c drive? I know Fdisk won't work. I have Gdisk but am not familiar with it yet.

TIA...
David

What version of Windows95 do you have... If it is revision C you could take a chance with partition magic..... Revision a and b don't support fat32 and your windows won't run if you try to use the whole drive.... fat16 will limit you to 2.1 Gigs....

If you don't have the experience to manage a 1.3 and a 1.2 gig hard drive, you will probably loose all of your data if you try to re-partition. find some programs that you can uninstall and then reinstall in your D partition

Good Luck

You could move the files and install programs on the D drive and make alot more space on the c drive. Did you clean the c drive I mean did you remove temp files, cookies, gid and chk files? Uninstall office then reinstall on the d drive.
