Partition / Hard Drive / Memory Help


Recommended Posts

Hi, I'll try to describe my problem as best as possible:



I installed Windows XP on an Old Laptop - successfully however:



I had 3 Partitions to install windows XP On which have: 99MB Total Size (Reserved), Local Disk 60GB and Local Disk 3 GB.


My arrow keys on my keyboard Do Not work, so I had to install Windows XP on the first space which was the 3GB partition.



I have almost finished installing drivers, updates etc however now I am out of space with just 204KB remaining.



How can I use the 60GB Local Disk and combine it to make 1 Local Disk? where everything will go.



Thanks, please ask questions if your unclear on anything ill do my best to answer with as much sense as possible lol



Matt.

The best thing to do (apart from throwing the machine out) would be to attach a (fully functioning) separate keyboard - they don't cost much - and start again placing the OS where YOU want it to go.

In which case you almost certainly installed your XP on the original OEM Recovery Partition - thereby wiping it ??
