Question Partitioning in XP

Hi
I've replaced my Toshiba TE2000 laptop 30 Gb HDD with a new 60 Gb HDD and reinstalled Win XP with six partitioned drives using a Win XP OEM CD

Drives F, G & H are 9 Gb each
I'd like to resize the disk sizes to
F = 5Gb
G = 15Gb
H = 7 Gb

There are no files on any of those drives now, though do have files on C, D and E

Is it possible to resize F G & H
Is it possible to resize them without interfering with Drives C-E?

Thanks very much

If you have no data on the partitions F G & H, you can delete those partitions from computer management and re-size them.

To do this "Right click" on "MY Computer" and choose manage, when the applet opens, under "storage" click on "Disk Management", this will display your disk information in the right window. You then right click on the partition you want to delete and choose the delete option, repeat this for the three drives you want to change, this will now leave you with 27 gigs of unallocated space. Now right click on that unallocated space and choose to make a partition follow the instruction and set the size you want. Then format that partition. Repeat this for the other two partition you want.
