Deleting of a partitioned drive

[Guest]

I am stuck with a hard drive that has been partitioned into 4. The C drive is
very small and i need to delete 2 of the other partioned drives and put then
into my c drive. Is this possible to do? Help

You will lose all your info on those partitions unless you buy commercial
software to do it - Partition Magic is one.

It is possible to do, but the tools necessary to do so are not
included with Windows. You will need to use a third-party
partitioning utility such as Partition Magic (Symantec) or BootItNG
(www.bootitng.com) if you want to accomplish this without wiping out
everything on the hard drive and starting over fresh.

Another option would be to use the other partitions whenever possible,
especially for saving data files and for installing new programs,
thereby reducing the amount of space used on drive C:

Good luck

Another possibility is for you to back up all your data files by burning
them to CDs and then reinstall Windows on your system, deleting the existing
partitions and creating a single large partition at the start of the install
process. Good luck!
