Partition management

How does XP's "management" module eliminate a partition and
regain the disc space too!
Example: Have a compaq that comes with a hard disk with 2 partitions, one for the "save" and a primary one.
I want to get rid of the "save" one and have one bigger one.

 

I may be wrong but AFAIK, you can't do what you want using native XP utilities. Partition Magic or something similar will do the job though.

 

Thanks for the prompt reply. I have Partition Magic 5.0 and can't make that work either! Perhaps a later version will do it. I had
hoped I wouldn't have to go that expense!

 

Power Quest's Partition Magic 7.0 has WinXP support...

Exciting New Functionality in PartitionMagic 7.0

Merge NTFS partitions
Support for Windows XP
Partition hard drives as large as 80 GB
Access and partition external USB drives
Undelete a deleted partition from rescue disks

 

Thanks for the info! I have Partion Magic 5.0 and it won't
get rid of the second partition and restore the original hard
drive disk space.
I'll buy 7.0 and see if it will!

 

try this,right click on my computer,left click on manage,then left click on disk management and wala do the nessary task from there!
