    I messed up a little when I was installing windows on my new HD.

    I made what I though was a 10Gb partition for ubuntu, but this turned out to be a 10Gb System volume called C:.
    My boot volume is a 118Gb partition called E: and the rest is in a partition called Z: (the installer didnt detect my whole hard drive, so I had to partition the rest when I got into windows)

    I want swap the drive letters of C: and E: and make the new C: my boot and system partition. Leaving the new 10Gb E: for ubuntu.

    Possible?

    Oh god, it's so messy and unlikely to work it's not worth your time.
    Start from scratch.

    If you REALLY want to:
    Norton PartitionMagic.
    Extend the size of C to whatever you want, cutting into the Ubuntu partition. This will move the Ubuntu stuff towards the end of the drive, and allocate the space that it used to fill up as free space on C:

    But really dude, it isn't worth the risk, bother, and cost of buying PartitionMagic. Just start again.
