Partition Software

[joroma]

Decided to use a partition programme to extend/delete partitons on my pc running XP Pro as only allowed 20gb for the OS and this is not enough. Currently have three partions on HD - c: d: e: with loads of space available on e: C: has OS, D: has programmes and E has documents etc. If I delete d: and e: will programmes currently installed on d: still work bearing in mind the target paths will have changed from d to c if I delete d partition. Also I have utility programmes on c so will end up with two folders called "Programmes"!! As I type I am thinking may be better to resize partitions???
Want to make this as painless as possible so would pay for a programme. Is there a preferred one?

I have looked at the partition discussions on this site and looks like the freeware utilities may be a bit complicated??

I made the disc get the first menu and choose run using default settings get two quick messages "loading image" then another loading message ( so quick I didn't write it down) followed by the word ready then the screen goes black, no sign of HD working, leave it for 10 mins and still black screen! The only way I can then turn PC off is by holding in power button. I've remade the image disc but same thing happens???
