Hard drive partitioning

[Peeeb]

Hi,

Don't know if anyone can help??...

I am helping a friend with her laptop,
She had three partitions; the manufactures service partition, the
'c' drive and a blank partition.
She has deleted the blank partition and our question is, how do you
make that remaining, unpartitioned drive part of the 'c' drive?

Thanks,

Corse they can.

What OS is being used ?

It can be done with XP, bit fiddly but possible.

Easiest with Acronis Disk Director.

Can be done with Partition Magic, but its very dangerous
to do that without an image of the entire physical hard drive.

Should really have a full image of the entire physical hard
drive first when using anything, but essential with PM.

I won't answer directly to your question, but...
Before fiddling with your partitions, make sure you backup all the
data (e.g. on DVD-R), that the backup works, and that, if worse comes
to worst, that you're able to reinstall the OS.

Sorry to state the obvious, but seeing how many data recovery
companies you can find on Google, it seems that lots of people forget
to do proper backups.

Use something like Norton Ghost to image the whole drive to DVD then Partion
Magic to resize the C: partition to include the empty space.
