low disk space

Hi guys

I recently set upa new pc after building it myself. However, i've run into a little problem.

I partitioned a 300gb drive into two partitions - one for the OS and the other to install system progs etc etc.

It seems now that in my rush to get the pc up andrunning, i only allowed 10GB ON THE SYSTEM PARTITION. The other partition remains vastly unused at the minute.

Just recently i started to get "low disk Space" pop ups. Upon checking and compressing old files and cleaning etc, i have managed to create a massive space of 312Mb... (It might have been enough in early 90's but not now)

My question is,am i able to delete the second partition and rejoin it to the system partition - basically get rid of the partition?

Am i in some way able to increase the system partition size?

I'd prefer not to lose any data or reformat the disk if at all possible.

Many thanx in advance.

Yes it is. I would use Partiion Magic, but there are many progs out there that do the same thing.
