If C drive is FAT, it is possiable to convert FAT to NTFS, then extend system partition by Windows disk management.
To convert to NTFS in cmd: “convert.exe C: /FS:NTFS”

I saw an another article about how to extend system partition in Windows Vista/2008 and Windows 7, share for everyone:

If there isn’t any unallocated space next to the C drive, Vista doesn’t allow you to extend it.

And if the C drive is FAT but not NTFS. Windows Vista doesn’t support FAT extension or shrink.

Here is a free tool help you to extend Vista C drive freely and even there is no unallocated space or the partition is FAT.

It can also help you to transfer data and upgrade disk:

This is the 1st time any article has mentioned that there has to be unallocated disc space to the right of c drive. It worked. Thanks

You’ve a good scenario and obviously you can’t use this trick, because the extend process is working from left to right.

In opposite, the shrink process works from right to left. So, you could shrink your system partition on the “right-hand side” but not to extend.
