Partitioning drive to correct mistake
I have been given a friends laptop who tried to re-partition the hard drive while reinstalling Windows XP. The problem is the way to drives were partitioned.
The C:\ is the (System) partition and is 100 MB
The D:\ is the (Boot) partition and contains the remainder of the drive space.
The problem is I can not alter the sizes of the partitions system or boot volumes so I am stuck. I tried reinstalling from the CD but there is not enough space on the C: drive to perform the initial setup so I get a BSOD before the partitioning utility loads.
This laptop does not have a floppy disk drive so I can't use a boot disk.
How do I change the partitions?
