Ok, so I have a Linux partition that I'm not using, so I
want to add that space to my D drive. Now, I could delete
both and then make a new partition from the free space,
but then I'd lose everything on the D drive. So, is there
anyway to just delete the Linux partition and add the
space to the D drive in an easy way, like with the
computer management thingy? Does it help that both are
part of one extended partition?

ture from the computer management program. The D drive
and Linux drive are the green bordered ones (that's how
it's supposed to be).<a>

Try Partition Magic, it can merge partitions that have the
same format and cluster size.

You'll need a third party partitioning tool to resize the existing D
drive. Partition Magic is probably the most popular. BootitNG will do
the job though and you can download a fully functional trial copy.

I'll go with BootitNG then. I'm still going to back up as
much as will fit on my campus webspace though, just on
the safe side
