Hi-ya,
My computer is as slow as a turtle, so i wanted to get rid of my partition. I have two physical drives in my computer. One is 4gig and the other is 2gig. I partitioned the 4gig drive into two 2gig drives. I wish to get rid of this because using software from one partition while reading from another is really slowing my computer down.
