I´ve an XP Tablet Edition SP3 with a hard disk with 2 partitions. The one
that contains the system is almost full and computer gets very slow. How can
I change the sizes of the partitions? Thank you very much.

With a partition manager.

Personally I use Acronis, but a quick Google for partition manager turns
up lots of options.

You will probably need to

Back up the whole system to an external device (Both partitions)
Delete the second partition
Expand the system partition
Recreate the second partition (smaller)
Restore your data to the second partition.

I'm now using Acronis "Disk Director".[1]
Before that I had "Partition Magic" (Symantec) but there is no version
for Vista.
Another popular product is Paragon "Hard Disk Manager". [3]

This should be done in any any case for having a possibility of
restoring in case something goes wrong.

With all three products it can be done ways easier by just changing the
size.

You can and you *should*.
Backup the system prior to updating.

First apply SP2, then SP3.

P.S. Obviously you posted this as a reply to an existing thread with a

You need not to backup the files to other drive and delete th
partition, just shrink other partitions and expand the os partition wit
the unallocated space. But backup file first is a good habit.
Besides the tools Rainald Taesler mentioned, I recommend easeu
partition master, free for home users, but it has the same functions

Sorry,
what might this posting be referring to??
At least in the UI of a NewsReader (WinMail) this posting is without any
referral. It's just "stand-alone".
So I can not say anything on the proposals {siiiigh}.
