Primary Drive has become D: with only 5GB Memory. How can I change this to C: which has lots of memory.?
I reinstalled Windows XP recently. I faintly remember during the installation exercise being asked which drive I wanted to use as Primary (giving two choices) and as I have never reinstalled before I inadvertantly chose D:. It turns out that D: is 5GB and is full now and I can't change it to C: I always thought that they were shared out equally.
Help please, you experts.

The division between C: and D: is fixed once it has been made. Special software can shrink one partition and grow the other after installation without losing your data but it is still a comparatively big job.
As for reassigning drive letters so that you system drive is C:, I wouldn't try it. I _have_ done it in the past but it soon becomes a messy nightmare. Anywhere that path or file names are quoted needs changing over to reflect the new locations of things. This includes all registry entries and many configuration files. In general I would suggest you are safer simply reinstalling everything if you really must have C: as your system drive.
