I _think_ that the Backup partitition is for a backup of your system files.
That's how it is on my Toshiba notebook. PM will allow you to shrink it.
First shrink it say to 11 GB and indicate that you want the space placed
before it not after it. That placement will then let you expand c:\ to fill
the empty space created in the first step.
