Combining two disk portion.

[Tony Starks]

I have one drive that is split up, I wanna put them back together as one drive. How do I go about this? Thanks

Do you need to data? Or can you afford to lose everything? If you need to save the data, then you will need a 3rd party software like Partition Magic. If you can afford to lose everything then you can use the Disk Management utility on XP's admin tools to repartion the drives.

I tried using Windows disk manger can't figuer it out. The drive is my C drive. Its the one that has XP on it. I slpit it up to put Linux on it but now wanna take out Linux. Total is 80 GB. 65 GB is for XP and 15GB is for Linux. I formatted the 15GB part, it is now empty but can't combine it.

If you wish to keep your current installation of XP, then you cannot combine the partitions without using something like Partition Manager (a 3rd party software that you need to buy). If you dont want to buy a software, you will need to setup XP all over again if you wish to recombine all the partitions.

It's pretty easy. You just need a partition manager.When I wanted to add a new HDD, I also had to combine my old one. So try this way. At first you need delete partition B (15Gb), then increase partition A(since 65 Gb till 80Gb) and that's all.
