    I have a 160GB hard drive from an old PC. It has several partitions and I want to make it one partition. I cannot find FDISK on my computer, Windows XP sp2, see snap below. What free program do I use to repartition and NTFS format the whole 160GB drive?

    Right-click on the "My Computer" icon on the desktop > Manage > Disk Management.

    Thanks Chris, That combined 2 of the 4 partitions, Now how do I get rid of the rest so I use the whole drive. Snap below.
    Never mind, I got it by messing around.

    Hi Ron,

    As an FYI - Fdisk is not on XP. Can find it on the internet to download or copy it form any 9X system.

    If you ever want to format XP's boot partition - can't do that thru Disk Management, you can use the XP CD for that or use Fdisk.

    Regards - Charles
