Gonna install Vista on a system

[Sniper82]

I have 3 partions on my 400gb. I use one for OS,Games and Storage. The OS is only 30gb because its been used for XP. Is there a way to add another 10-20gb from one of the other partions? Or would I have to back one of them up, delete the OS and one of the others and create two new partions?

Try Acronis Disk Director suite- its a great tool for creating, resizing and merging patitions without losing any data. But it also looks like Windows Vista has built in partition manager check this post: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=34&threadid=2002506

I tried that on a different system and it allowed me to take some from one HD but its not allowing me to add it to drive C?

30gb should be enough for vista. that's how much I am using. I was using 20gb for XP and it was enough for me. I don't game though.
