My computer has two drives. The C drive which contains 60 GB of Space and the E Drive which I formatted and it contains the other 60 GB of my 120 GB Hard Drive. I want to be able to get rid of drive E and bring all of the free space from E onto C so that C will have 120 GB of free space instead of only 60GB. Would this be possible to do for free. I have already tried many partition programs and they all say it is only a demo and I must buy the software. How can I do this operation for free without losing data on my computer.

Partitioning software won't help.....

Years ago, you could "extend" volumes to other disks...Can't do it anymore.

New hard drives are dirt cheap.

Might consider install XP on the larger drive.

Grandslammer, could you please clarify whether you have two physical drives, or one physical drive partitioned into two?

If you mean you have a single 120GB HDD, partitioned and formatted to appear as two 60GB drives, then a utility like gparted on a Linux boot CD should be able to do it for you. There is always a slight possibility that such an operation could go wrong, so I suggest it be avoided unless there is a real need to do it. Not having a single huge partition actually makes some drive maintenance jobs like defrag & backup imaging more manageable.
