my laptop was partitioned so that this one piece of the hard drive would have room for all the back up restore stuff. now that space is the C: drive, and i need to get the bigger drive C: so i don't ruin my back ups in that other space i have partitioned. how do i change the drives? please help!

You can purchase a reliable and fully-featured hard disk drive manager for example Disk Director by Acronis. You'll be able to add some space to the C: partition easily using Disk Director.

I can only recommend a software that will assist you to safely do stuff like merging,transferring partition content. Its called "Partition Magic" 8.0

OK HERE WE GO 1ST OF ALL YOU SHOULD BACKUP ON A REMOVABLE MEDIA .CD ,DVD ETC. CUZ WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUR HD CRASHES WHERE ARE YOUR BACKUPS ?IN YOUR UNACCESIBLE HD. ARE YOU WITH ME OK .{LOOK AT YOUR LAPTOPS GOODIES] DO YOU HAVE RAID ?IF SO DO YOU HAVE RAID 0 1 OR 5? i KNOW YOU DONT HAVE RAID 5 .ALLRIGHT GO INTO ADMIN TOOLS IN CONTROL PANEL. YOU CAN CHANGE DRIVE LETTERS IN DISK MGMNT. BE CAREFUL BECAUSE IF YOUR BOX IS BOOTING WITH THE CURRENT MBR AND CONTROL SET IF YOU CHANGE THE DRIVE LETTERS IT MAY NOT RUN SO GOOD
