Was Vista Bill Gates Thumbing His Nose on his last day at work?
Really, though, a real problem which I cannot figure out. On disk management, I have created several virtual drives. I created a new drive last time just for windows, which defaulted to C:, which I didn't really mean it to, because I only put about 10 gigs on it. [not enough room for backups during reloads etc]

Today, I though I could do a spanned drive with C:, and send extra gigs to C:, but since it is the primary boot drive, it won't work, and the 'spanned volume' option blanks out, and no other volume with either take C: or be added to it.

How can I redirect at least 10 more gigs from one of the virtual drives to C:?

And no, really, I love Vista, and Bill Gates, and Big Corporation Monopolies that criminally enslave us peasants throughout the centuries leaving us in a new cyber-serfdom.

You'll probably have to use a third party partitioning program to adjust the C: partition larger, and shrink the partition that follows it.

Be sure you have a backup of your data, as sometimes the system will become unbootable after adjusting partition sizes.

Gparted is mentioned often as a good free utility, but I've never used it myself.
