Answer 2

Unfortunately the only way to reallocate hard drive space is through using a partitioning tool such as the one built into the windows installation process or partition magic. There are others available, some require that you purchase them and some are free. If you are trying to reallocate all of the available space into a single partition, for instance having the full 320 gb (which will actually be around 290 gb due to the allocation tables taking up space on the drive) on a single drive letter it will involve reinstalling the operating system. If however you are just trying to combine the partitions (lettered drives the operating system shows you) that the operating system is installed on you shouldn't have a problem. I personally use the partitioning tool that comes on the windows xp installation disk. If you wish to go this route run the installation disk to the point that it asks you which partition you wish to install windows to. When you get to this screen there will be instructions on how to delete and create partitions. Once you have your partitions setup the way you would like them you should format them. The instructions for formatting partitions will also be shown in the installation process. If you have not disturbed the partition that your operating system is installed on you will not have to format it, however if you have combined all of your partitions into a single one you will have to format and reinstall the operating system. When you format i would reccomend using the NTFS file system rather than the FAT 32 as NTFS is the newer of the file allocation systems.

I'm not sure if windows xp has this feature but in windows 7 you can delete partitions and modify partitions in the device manager.
