    I believe if you are using dynamic disks you can usually expand the size but
    not the system drive which would probably be your C drive. Basic disks can
    not be expanded. You could simply move data folders or possibly even some
    applications [never move system files] to a new program files folder on the
    D drive. If you do such you will have to reconfigure the properties of the
    desktop shortcuts to point to the new drive and maybe let programs know
    where the data files have been moved to if they have a program associated
    with them. If moving an application does not allow it to work you may have
    to check the registry to see if there are keys that point to the original
    drive or uninstall and reinstall the application to the D drive. There are
    programs like Partition Magic that will let you change the size of your disk
    partitions. The links below may help. If you do decide to try and
    repartition your drive be sure to back up your critical data files to
    cdrom/dvd just in case the operation does not go as planned. Sometimes if
    you search your drive for temporary files [*.tmp] and look in your Windows
    temp folder [\winnt\temp] you will be surprised at how much room you can
    gain by deleting them. If you have a high speed internet connection you
    should also review the size given to your temporary internet files and
    reduce from default. I use 40MB and it works fine for me. --- Steve
