i made my C: drive partition to small and now when it goes to store temp files on my c drive its to small. Is there anyway to make my c drive larger withought formatting and repartitioning, i have no unallocated drive space so i cant get it to extend using the disk management in the computermanagemt program in the control panel. im running windows xp home edition.

Edit: i used the command prompt diskpart to extend my c drive so now i can do things that require temp files.

It is very easy to move the TEMP location to another drive. You can also move the folder used for temporary internet files as well.

I also move my outlook express folder to another drive and I have also moved 'My Documents' to another drive.

Voila, problem solved.

Boo!

I got the problem fixed but it took more that I wanted it to and could have done easily if i did it right but here is what I did:
deleted my d volume and extended my c partition, stupidly i didnt remember that my antivirus software was on the deleted d drive. got something like a virus that deleted a windows dll file and i couldnt get it wo start up windows tried to fix using the windows install disk but had no luck so i formatted and reinstalled windows. work just fine now.
