The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Trimming a hard disk partition in Windows XP

Asked by davinder101 in Windows MFC Programming, Windows Programming, C++ Programming Language

Tags: , , , ,

Hi all,
   The layout of my hard disk partition is as follows:
   OS --> Windows Xp SP2
   Hard Disk --> 80 Gb.
   I have 3 primary partition
  C: (OS Drive) --> 30 Gb.
  D: --> 30 Gb.
  E: --> 20 Gb.
Now the Problem is I am having the shortage of Disk space for my data. And the free space is only available in C:Drive. It has 24Gb free space. Can I trim(Shrink) the OS drive by around 20 GB, and make a new Partition from it in running Windows? I want to create this myself without any third party tool. I know about the API which is used for this purpose is DeviceIoControl().  Can anyone please help me in developing this partition by myself?I am using (VC++)Visual Studio 2005. I need some guidance in using this API. Which are the parameters I have to call to  create this Partition?
