"Acronis PartitionExpert was not able to increase the free space on selected

I have winxp home, with a 120gb drive, partitioned into 5, and am trying to increase the size of the C drive so as to be able to run Nero Backup to DVD.

However Acronis Partition Expert Personal flags up this error message during the wizard:

"Acronis PartitionExpert was not able to increase the free space on selected
partition. The current size of the selected partition is the maximum
possible".

Is there a reason why i am unable to increase the free space size?

Also, i have tried to update to the latest build, but i only have access to Build 278, which i already have, and not 292...

Thank you for any help

I hate to say this Acronis PartitionExpert is a PIECE OF CRAP. Look at the version it is still like 2003, and check out my Post too, pretty much the same problem.
A Good piece of software should NOt have sooooooooooooo much problem, looks like a Beta Job to me.. Just look down from your Post and U will see several other Post quite similar to yours , including mine.
