I am currently running Windows Vista Home Premium on my MacBook and I am having hard drive problems. I didnt partition enough, only 32 gb, and now I dont have enough space for anything really. I have tried un-installing game demos and programs I will never use, but when ever I try to un-install them, it just takes up more hard drive space. It really doesnt make sence. Any help is appreciated.

Dude, is that ALL of your memory? you can just pull the memory into your other partition and redirect your downloads into your other partition

Office and that stupid antivirus trial can be either moved or the trial for the Antivirus deleted.

Doing this as I speak. I have no idea when I got it...my DAD got it some 15 years ago, but that doesn't matter. Anyways, it keeps jerking around all over the place. I try to hold it with a rag...It doesn't look like...much.

For my windows, yes. It was the default amount, but my computer has a 160 GB hard drive, still kinda small.

Is there any way to expand a partition without deleting all of the files in it? Because I already have over $100 dollars in my Steam account and it would blow to delete all of that.

If you have the games on your steam account you wont lose them. you can just re download/install them. you just have to reload and relog into steam.

anyways to your original question. No you will need to reset the system up to expand the root partition.

Forgive my spelling and grammar. I post from my cell phone a lot. Sometimes when I'm on the can at work.
