2 Partions on Harddisk

[Biggles71]

Hi Group,

My Pentium4 PC, was delivered 2 years ago with a single Harddisk with 2 partitions.

Since I never really used both partitions, I now have ended up with 1 full partition and one empty one.

I was thinking of getting rid of the second empty one, and I want to let everything flow into one harddisk partition.


How do i do this? I searched everywhere, but I'm blocked...Sorry!

Any help out there?

Also, why would you keep two partitions if the computer is only used by one person? Did I miss something?

Thanks and Brgds,

Biggles71, Welcome to this Forum.

Question First: what is your operating system ?

usually people have two partition to use one for data and another for application, but you issue seem to be with a full partition..... there is a software out there called partition magic and it would allow you to expand or reduce a partition, I have used it many times but you have to remember that the older version of Partition magic don't work with newer version of OS.

Snwomonkey,

Thanks for the quick reply....


Yes, since I posted in the WIN XP forum section, I run XP Home.

So, if I understand you right, there is no way, of having a one partition only hard disk except if I reformat the whole thing... Correct?

I thought that there would be a possibility to bring back both partitions into one...

Understand, that you would still keep two partitions even as a single user...?

Thx,

no that's not what I said,,, you can still merge two partition into one by using a software called partition magic.
Having two partition has nothing to do with number of users...
