xp partition question
I recently made the upgrade to windows xp, and now have some questions.
I have (1) 120 GB hard drive and (1) 40 GB hard drive the 40 GB is one partition (NTFS), and that's where windows is installed. the 120 GB is divided into (2) 20 GB partitions (one NTFS, one FAT32) (1) 80 GB partition (FAT32) I want to combine the (2) 20 GB partitions into (1) 40 GB NTFS partition. My question is will it affect the 80 GB partition? And, is there a tool like fdisk for NTFS drives, or is there another way to do this? |

If you right click My Computer>Manage>Disk Management you should be able to delete the two 20 GB partitions and format them with NTFS. Or at least that is how I would do it, as I don't like fdisk all to much(ok fine, im scared of the command line/prompt
)PS-It should leave other partitions unaffected. Last edited by ZeratulsAvenger; 07-03-2004 at 06:49 PM. |

You'll need something like Partition Magic to take care of that I believe. Reformat the 20gig fat32 partition to ntfs first, then combine them.
