Default How can I increase C drive size?

Hello,
I have a 6 Gb hard drive and 2 Gb are assigned to C.
4 Gb are assigned to D

I keep getting the "low memory" message and it's dragging
my applications down. How do I reformat so I can put 1
or 2 more Gb into the C drive?

Thanks
DanB

You shouldn't need to, 'Low memory' is just that - low memory - not low disk
space, except under certain circumstances.

First, check how much space there is on the C: drive - r-click on the icon
in Wondows Explorer, and select Properties.

then do some files maintenance - clear your TIF and C:\Windows\Temp folders
immediately after a reboot

Low memory errors most often are caused by limiting memory either in RAM, or
in the Virtual Memory (which is where the exception above comes in)
Ensure that you have Windows managing Virtual Memory (System
Properties|Performance|Virtual Memory), and that you have no entries under
the header [vcache] in SYSTEM.INI

Occasionally Windows will get confused and call low resource errors, low
memory - in this case, simply reduce the number of programs running....
look here for instructions on how to clean up your startup axis, preventing
unnecessary programs loading
