My system drive partition is running out of space.
I'd like to re-size or merge my partitions on the physical drive, so that I can gain enough free space.

Has anyone used this tool? (EaseUS Partition Master @partition-tool_dot_com)
They claim it does many things that Partition Magic does, but for free:

What about just using a Linux Live CD? You could run GParted to resize the primary partition. I'm not sure about how it would affect data on the partition you're taking space from.

Put code tags around: in the editor, highlight your link then click the # button.

Why bother with 3rd party programs.
If you have Windows 7 you can use Disk Management to Shrink or Extend the partitions.

This is what I use also. It does have limitations, but works for most tasks.

Thank you all for the replies.
This is a WinXP system, so can't use the Disk Management to modify the partitions.
I ended up using the EaseUS Partition Master, which did the trick.
