Extending FAT32 Partition

[ohnnyj]

Can a FAT32 partition be extended after Windows has been installed on it? I have a computer at work that doesn't do much more than scan stuff in and has had no need to upgrade to a better OS but it is running out of space on the hard drive since Win98 is only seeing the first 2GB of the drive. Is there a way to get this space back?

Thanks.

Partition Magic will do it.

Well, assuming it's a >2GB drive, you can partition the rest of the space, which will give you a "D" drive (or whatever the next letter is you have available) with the rest of the space on the drive.

If you want to make your "C" drive bigger, you need something like Partition Magic. Or you could backup your hard drive with Norton Ghost (or equivalent), then reformat the drive with a bigger primary partition, and copy the Ghost image back.
