Need help to repartition hard drive but to keep all installed software
Hi All,
several months ago my laptop's hard drive was repartitioned by our tech services/administrators without consulting with me. I didn't have a large hard drive in the first place and what they did was that they created a smaller C drive (60 GB) and a larger F (data) drive (87 GB).
I am a developer and I need a lot of specific software to be installed on C drive, I have to have Visual Studio 2008 and 2010, SQL Server 2008, Office 2010, service packs, other work related software.
I uninstalled whatever I could from C drive, I keep cleaning it, remove logs etc.
After latest Windows updates I ran out of space on C drive. I have only 2 GB left. The only "solution" that tech services offered was to completely reformat my hard drive and repartiion it again. For me it means that I will have to spend a week re-installing all the software from scratch and possibly losing stuff in the process. I can't afford it because I have work to do.
Is there a way to repartition hard drive without wiping out all the installed programs, just to increase the size of the C drive and decrease the size of the F drive?
