How To Merge 2 Partitions

I'm posting this information in case some people might it useful. I used to have a40GB hard drive with 2 partitions: 1 bootable (C:) and 1 logical drive. I've triedmerging the 2 drives using PartitionMagic, but the program didn't seem to

recognize the logical drive. Finally, after weeks of , here is my solutionfor people who want to merge 2 partitions, but are unable or unwilling to usePartitionMagic:

1. Make sure you backup partition #2 (in my case, the logical drive) that you wantabsorbed into partition #1 (boot drive). The data in #2 will have to be erased.

2. Go to the command line (Start > Programs > Accessories > Command line) andtype DISKPART

3. At the prompt line (DISKPART>), type:- LIST DISK- SELECT DISK [enter disk number]- LIST PARTITION- SELECT PARTITION 2 (or number of partition to be absorbed)- DELETE PARTITION (this will format the partition to be absorbed, so make sureyou have a copy of your files elsewhere)

4. Now, to extend partition #1:- LIST VOLUME- SELECT VOLUME [enter number of the volume assigned to your C drive]- EXTEND (this will resize partition #1 to take up all the unallocated space in thehard drive)

5. Type EXIT to l eave DISKPART

This is basically what PartitionMagic does automatically for you. I hope this helps

Good tips!

I have a 40GB drive with the following partitiondetails (using "detail disk"):- Volume 1, C, WIN98, FAT32, Partition, 19GB,Healthy,- Volume 2, D, WinXP, NTFS, Partition, 19GB,Healthy, Boot

I want to remove the Win98 Partition/data and

extend the WinXP Partition to contain the allthe 40GB of disk. Is this possible with theabove steps? Will WinXP still boot/run afterthe drive letter changes from D to C?
