partitioning windows 7 primary volume

[raj900]

my pc operating system is installed in c drive which is 25 gb in size, and d drive is 50 gb.
is it possible to shrink 5 gb space of d drive and add it to c drive?

Should be. Open the virtual disk manager (right click computer icon select manage, click disk management), you'll see your drives as bars across the screen.
Right click the bar for D: and select shrink, then enter the size you want to shrink by.
Finally right click C: this time choose extend volume.

Should now be done.

i shrinked d drive by 1 gb, and when i right clicked on c drive, extend volume was not enabled. so i couldn't select it. any other way. both my drives are NTFS

It is possible but you may not be able to do it with the Windows Disk management. You may need a 3rd party partitioning program like Acronis Disk Director or some other program like that.

I don't think Disk Management will do it if the free space isn't at the end of the volume you're expanding.
If would have to be [free space] [D] not [C] [D] [free space]. You'd likely have to create a partition in the free space and make the two a dynamic disk. Or use another utility to do it. I'd back up anything important to external media incase it all goes wrong.
