Hi,

I'm using NTFS on xp operating system. My logical C: is 7GB. I looked in
Computer Management and there is over 60GB space thats not allocated. May
physical hard drive is 67GB So I formatted the remaining space setting the
letter up as S: So now, I have C: that 7GB and S: that 60GB.

Is there a way I can make S: mount to the C: as one logical partiton to read
C: 67GB in total? please advise. Thanks.

Do you perhaps have Partition Magic or similar? That can
certainly delete and expand partitions.

I think what needs to happen is to either find a way to allocate some of the
space over to c or delete that partition and resize your c with all of the
space.

It is easier with disk management software. But look around for freeware
and or try use the command diskpart from the command console.

Type diskpart at the c prompt, then type diskpart /? to get a listing.....

Click to expand...

Windows XP does not provide any tools that will resize an existing
partition without also destroying the contents of that partition.

Third party utilities such as Partition Magic (Symantec) or BootItNG
(www.bootitng.com) will do this.

Good luck
