I second the motion.  I assume you do not need to expand C: because XP 
it self is growing, rather the stuff XP needs to access is growing. 
It is easier to maintain a boot partition if it only contains the OS 
and possibly utilities that help it work.  Apps should be on a 
different partition and data off in it's own world.  FAT32 is not 
stopped by 1024.  The simplest thing to do is change H: to FAT32 and 
let every one use it.  I have a couple 25G FAT32 partitions that are 
used by OS/2, Win and DOS.  If you're not comfortable with that, split 
H: and the leave the pieces where they are.

While we are on the subject, I have a laptop that is preinstalled with 
XP.  I need to split that and add OS/2 plus app and data partitions. 
Can XP be told where to put it's swap file like 9X so I can get it off 
the boot partition?
