| 838039 | 2009-12-09 08:28:00 | Hey mate got one hard drive with 2 partitions on it. 1 for vista and one for 7. He wants to merge the two together so he only has one. Can it be done without losing any data on either partition? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 838040 | 2009-12-09 08:40:00 | ? And have 2 OS's on one partition? I doubt it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 838041 | 2009-12-09 09:16:00 | sorry not on to it tonight. He is going to delete the vista stuff and then merge them into one | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 838042 | 2009-12-09 09:21:00 | He needs to delete the vista partition then expand the W7 one to take in the now unallocated space. I hope the unallocated space is on the right of the W7 partition. If not, a slide operation has to be performed to make it so. | linw (53) | ||
| 838043 | 2009-12-09 18:46:00 | he want to merge them to keep all the data on the vista partition | nedkelly (9059) | ||

| 838045 | 2009-12-09 23:09:00 | LOL, tell him to copy the data over to 7 1st, wipe the vista partition then expand 7 | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 838046 | 2009-12-10 04:57:00 | LOL, tell him to copy the data over to 7 1st, wipe the vista partition then expand 7 +1 Easy. But they do always say back up important files, so just say that to him, and if he doesn't, his choice, so you don't get in trouble. :P I've learned that alright! |

| 838047 | 2009-12-10 09:21:00 | yeah told him to do that but he says he just wants to delete the vista system stuff (sorry Foxy) and then merge them together and not lose anything. And I dont think his 7 partition will hold all of the stuff from the vista if he moves it over. |
