Hidden partition combining help

[IDAssociatesLLC]

Running XP on a drive with a hidden partition and a C and D drive. I want
to delete the contents of the hidden partition and reclaim that space in the
C drive. I am either upgrading to Vista or doing a fresh install and the
original XP back up is in the hiddenpartition . I have it on DVD as well
so it is now going to be redundant.

Thanks for your help. I have partition Magic 7 and there is a combine
feature there but I am unclear as to its appropriateness for this task.

I suggest to save yourself much
time and grief and leave your
hidden partition alone.

There "can" be unforeseen results,
the consequences being very time consuming
and possibly costly. (I use the word "can",
but it should very well use the word "will")

What you may find to be time saving and
headache free for years to come is simply
go buy another hd and expand your system
with the additional space your are seeking.

PS: Partition Magic has been known to
cause disk crashes on SP2. Therefore my
suggestion is, "Don't use PM!........"
Updated programs like Acronis Disk
Director is compatible.
