Well I have two partitions on my drive: C and D

I need to add more space to C because I have less than 2 GB free on it and can't install bigger files (since it has to go from C first to D)

Can I take space from D and add it to C? How? Will anything get messed up/deleted?

C drive has all the boot/system/etc stuff on it

I'm using Vista

Simply right click my computer and push manage.
Then on the left side bar select Disk management.
Then right click D: and either delete partition or shrink partition.
Then Right click C: and extend partition.

The unallocated space shows up

Shrinking D didn't add anything to C

Vista's partition manager let you shrink and expand partitions, but you cannot combined partitions if they are created with different types.

e.g. You have a hd with 2 partitios a C and D
C is a primary device and D is a logical device.

The partition you shrink in D cannot be expanded to your C because it's using 2 different partitioning systems.

From the image below we can see this drive had 3 partitions, Drives G and J can be shrunk, expanded and combined because they're using the same partitioning system, while drive H cannot because it's using another partitioning system.

Hmm.. none of my drives say logical on them though?

after the screenshot I shrunk the D drive and there's another space at the bottom with unallocated space

Forgot to mention, even if all partition have the same type of partitioning system. The unallocated space has to be next to the C:\ in order to expand.

When you shrink the D:\, the unallocated space goes to the right side of the disk instead of the left.
