That's exactly the case, C: butts up against D: who leaves unpartitioned space to just hang around in there when they create their partitions. Creating E: is not an option as the patch that I need to install will only install to the drive that I have VS 2005 on which is C: . I may have to uninstall VS 2005 and install it on the D: drive I guess if I can't resize C: which kinda sucks.
