Hello, How do you delete a partition on a hard drive. I have two operating system Win98 and Win2000 professional.Drives C Drive40GB and D and E Drive about 12Gb about 6.5 a piece. I would like to delete the D drive and make the E drive the whole 13GB. I currently have about 750MB left in my E drive, and the d drive is pretty empty. Help!
 
If you want to do this without loosing data or an operating system
you'll have to use a third party partitioning tool, something like
Partition Magic. If loosing data or an OS is of no concern you can use
Fdisk to do it. You won't be able to retain drive E as such, the drive
letters will be reassigned and you will end up with drives C and D. If
you have shortcuts to E and Programs on E you will/may have problems
with that.

If no operating system currently resides on D/E it's a
simple thing, you need to get partition magic, and just
join the two partitions, it will look for any references
to the drives and change them. you will most likely wind
up with drive D. You can also look under disk manager
see what tools are available there To open Disk
Management, click Start, point to Settings, click Control
Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-
click Computer Management. In the console tree under
Storage, click Disk Management.

Be careful, you can really cause some problems here.
