I had a Fujitsu 80GB drive in my laptop. Now I have installed an Intel 520series SSD 120GB. I used the EaseUS Todo clone software to clone the old drive but now I have a 75GB partition that is all of the old drive and a 37GB unallocated partition. How do I make the unallocated partition part of the 75GB to increase space?

In disk management, how is the unallocated space positioned in relation to the 75gig partition? If it is to the right of the75gig partition, then you should be able to extend the 75 gig partition through disk management.

It is to the right but I am running windows xp. How do I extend the 75 gb partition?

Right click the partition you want to extend and click extend. It should automatically come up with the max drive size.

It does not have that feature.

In XP you will have to do it in Command prompt. Don't worry though, here are the instructions, just follow them and you should be fine.
You do have to watch for disk drive letter and manually put in the amount in MEGABYTES you want the volume extended. So be careful with that.

Edit:
Well, aparently the above is for basic volume, not primamry volume.
The link below is better and in XP , you may have to live with two partitions or do a clean install.
Otherwise it looks like you need third party software to merge the two partitions.

Yeah, it been awhile since Ive used XP. I thought it had it.
I was able to find EaseUS partition manager for free on download.com so I used that to extend the c: partition all the way.
Thanks everyone for your responses.
