If the cursor turns to two vertical lines with left and right arrows, it is pointed at the partition border and you can drag it to enlarge or reduce the partition's size. If the cursor turns to four arrows, it is pointed at the partition, so you can move it to the left or right (if there's unallocated space near it).

Adding a new hard disk If you don't have enough space for your data (e. g. family photos and videos), you can either replace the old disk with a new higher-capacity one (data transfers to new disks are described in the previous chapter), or add a new disk only to store data, leaving the system on the old disk. If the PC has space for another disk, it would be easier to add a disk drive than to clone one. Although this operation is relatively simple, we do not recommend it for inexperienced users, and advise them to have a professional do it. If you still want to install it yourself, first take the time to study Appendix B. 4. 1 Selecting a hard disk Select the disk that you've added to the PC.

The FAT16 file system has a 2GB limit that permits a maximum 65, 507 clusters that are 32Kb in size. (Windows NT/2000/XP support partitions up to 4GB with up to 64Kb clusters). Usually the smallest cluster size is used to make the total cluster amount within the 65, 507 range. [. . . ]
