hi, I am running win XP pro. i have one physical drive which had been split into a C: and D: way back wen i was using winNT. i have since formatted and re-installed ME and then XP yet ive had no luck in being able to re-allocate the space in D: to my C: thus eliminating the need for a second partition. In short i want one partition on my hard drive, i dont want a C: and a D: just a c: i downlaoded partition magic, and wen i use it firstly it wont let me 'merge' the 2 partitions, and secondly wen i say format C: or D: via partition magic, it all appears to work untill i click the 'apply changes now' at that point it just all goes back to how it was IE: not formatted. please help me as i want to get rid of my 2 partitions, and reclaim the space . thanks in advanced.

Hello Manuel: Have you tried using a Windows 98 boot-up disk so you can use fdisk? Your drive has to be formatted as FAT 32 in order for fdisk to work. It won't see format NTFS. You also have to configure your bios so that it recognizes the floppy as your first boot up device. Good luck

I'm gonna guess your D was the NT partiton and is partitoned ntfs. If os, there in lies the rub. To whack the NTFS partition you need a dos utility called DELPART.exe that hasnt been around since NT3.1 i think Anyway.. here it is: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q103049 Make your boot floppy and copy delpart.exe to it.

Hi Manuel Post your e-mail and I send it over (123k) may/may not work for you? If recognize/see your ntsf partition should work just fine, if not sorry can't help you. Walter

What version of Partition Magic you using? It is vital to have the latest version to get some things to work. Either buy the latest version in the store or get a copy off morpheus. if you do have the latest, version then i dunno :) calvin

everybody seems to be missing the fact you are dual booting me and xp,if this is the case you need 2 partitions, if you want only one os ,back up your data and boot from xp cd and choose new install,same partition and same folder and overwrite the existing windows me,then when in xp delete the other partition

walter, my email pac_41@hotmail.com other guys, thanx for ur help will go thru and try ur suggestions :)
