I thought it would be an easy fix to go to the Disk Management application in Computer Management and change C: to say P and then change my Windows XP install from E to C satisfying the need for space however it wont let me change that letter on account of it being a system reserved drive. My computer is seeing the system reserved partition as the C:\ and windows 8 is on D with windows XP on E.


The software I want to install is designed to only be installed to the C:\ partition, it will not let me choose another drive to install to and I cannot install to C:\ becauase there is not enough space to install the software to. Depending on the partition size, it can take some time to extend it. Note: As I said above, this command will only work if there is sufficient unallocated space right next to the partition you are extending. You can use this tool to convert GBs to MBs. The startup files for BitLocker drive encryption, in case of encrypting the hard drive using the BitLocker tool, the partition reserved for the system will be in charge of hosting the files necessary to start the computer.I finally got xp installed to my laptop, however, I have run into a problem. For example, if you want to extend the partition by 1 GB, type 1024.
