Ok hi, i dont remember how i did it (I downoaded partion programs left and right) and i parttioned my laptops hardrive in half like i wanted it too but its too late and got what i wanted done, So how do i give the space back to my XP cause i am running out of space :( BUT i CANT louse my data, So i need to resize it without louseing data...oh and im just a kid with no money so a free program would be freaking awsome :)
thanks

I don't think there are any free partition managers for Windows. You need to use a trial one. If you're comfortable with Linux you can give G-Parted (http://gparted.sourceforge.net) a try.

Try Ranish (http://www.ranish.com/part/). You won't lose any data.

It comes with reference and a partitioning simulator, so you can practice before you use it for real. Have you read the reference yet?
