My 4 gb FAT HD is partitioned into two equal drives (C
and E) and I want to either enlarge the C or get rid of E
altogether and use the whole disk as the C drive.

In XP's Disk Management, on E, I removed the partition
and reformatted. E drive now shows 2.04 unallocated gbs.
But when I right click on C drive, the only option I have
is to change drive letter/paths.

How can I revert this disk back to one? Any help much
appreciated!

If this is your master drive with XP on it,you can't.When
XP was loaded,you had that option before XP was
installed.The only option now is to format and reinstall
XP.If it was my option,I would format it and use as a
slave drive for extra space and buy a bigger drive for XP
to grow.If this is already a slave drive,then you can
backup what files is on it and then Fdisk and format
using a 98boot disk.

unfortunately, you'll need a third-party product,
something like Partition Magic .
