Just backup everything in the drives you want to merge or resize then go to your control panel -&gt; Administrative Tools -&gt; Computer Management and then remove your drives using disk management and then re-create new partitions with the size you want. Do it at your own risk. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/freeware-application-for-merging-partitions#post-1449 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 21:53:41 +0000 Anurag 1449@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>From EE:</p> <p>First of all, Backup your system, in case you need it, if not....</p> <p>Second : boot with your Windows XP Cd-rom and, when prompted to Recover an old installation or new one, choose "new one" by pressing the ESC key.</p> <p>Next step, choose of partition. Here, select the C: and Press "D", Then "ENTER", then"L", and your partition C has gone; then select the F: and Press "D", Then "ENTER", then"L", and your partition F has gone. In the partitions table nothing left but "Unallocated Space". Choose it and press "Enter", set the size of it, in your case, Full Space and press "Enter".</p> <p>Then Setup will copy files and install as usual.</p> <p>Warning: Use at your own risk. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/freeware-application-for-merging-partitions#post-1438 Fri, 21 Mar 2008 22:50:59 +0000 Anonymous 1438@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Hello,<br /> I have a number of unwanted partitions on my laptop running Windows XP and these are taking up a lot of space.
