Tried to go out of Labor ready this morning, but that didn't happen. Mostly because, if I had went out, TJ wouldn't have had enough gas for work and I wouldn't have had a ride home. Blah. I need to find a steady job ASAP.

In other news, I think I'v found a roundabout way of keeping the computer for being a whore. Seems that we partitioned faaaar too little space on the C drive. See, our computer has two harddrives. A 10 gig and a 4 gig. The 10 gig is partitioned into three seperate drives so we can organize things better and keep track of where the hell everything is. Well, we only put 2.91 gigs on C, and we didn't take into account that Windows itself takes up 1.29 gigs, plus whatever other crap it gets its sticks tendrils into on that drive. So we've only got 258MB of space left. Now, I figure, if we can add more space to that drive, it won't be running low on resources as often as it has been. But, can you even do that without reformatting? And how would I go about doing so? If I could just add another gig, I think it would help out some. Because we're not going to be able to get more RAM for awhile unless we find a sack of money. :P

In other news, I need to call back places I dropped off applications and shit. And reschedual TJ's appointment. And clean cages. Augh.

Try finding a program like Partition Magic or a partition FAQ. I'm not so experienced with such things myself.

Nachitor is on the right track. The only Windows partition type you can't resize is NTFS. But if you're using FAT32, you're lucky, because it's possible. Partition Magic is the trick here. Let KhirsahKassilDracoBoi know if you need to 'obtain' a copy, and I'll do so.

If I recall, current versions of Partition Magic can resize NTFS format.

News to me. Last I heard, partitions were set in stone pains in the ass. Guess not. But yeah, AllyAngel, lemme know if you need a copy of it - Baz is fgood at getting necessary software.

Yesss. And if it means we don't have to reformat, all the better. Cause that was an hour of hell.

Baz says to download it from the manufacturer's website, tell me what version it is, and he'll find you a serial code or whatever's needed.

*tossed at by Kassil* I agree. Partition Magic is the only way to resize the partitions once made. Partition Magic is the better software to use by anyone I've heard from. With XP and 2000, you can create new partitions without going to fdisk in DOS but resizing is PM's dept.
