Incorporating C and D in new format partition?

[Dave A.]

Howdy,


When I set up my computer with a large hd, I created a
few too many partitions.

Is it possible to format C: (primary partition) and D:
(logical drive) and incorporate both drives into one,
without having to reformat the entire hd? (I'd prefer to
not to have to reinstall all the files located on my
other partitions on the hd.

Am I stupid?

Please respond to my email address, as I am unable to
remember where the heck I posted this message : )

The only way you can create, delete, resize or merge existing partitions,
and not harm your existing Windows installation, is to purchase and use
a third-party partitioning program such as Partition Magic 8.

A good third-party partitioning program is Partition Magic 8.
