Hey all,
My hard drive is partitioned into two halves by default the first have (C:) containing all my files data etc and the second halve (E:) containing my HHDrecovery software for creating a 2 disk restore pack.
Example:


Now this may sound like a stupid question but is there any way, without 3rd party software, where i can shrink (E:) down to say 10GB and put the remaining 105GB onto my (C:) making it 221GB total?

You should be able to Shrink a volume and Extend a volume in Vista, using Disk Management.
Control Panel/Admin Tools/Computer Management/Disk Management.

Having said that the Vista tools can be a bit flaky sometimes .... a third party program, such as Acronis Disk Director is a better choice.
