| 766548 | 2009-04-20 10:39:00 | My current hard drive setup is this: C: 29.3GB D: 45.2GB Total: 74.5GB 1 Physical hard drive, 2 partitions Currently they both have a mixture of stuff on them (C has windows) What I am planning to do tomorrow is to backup important data (eg my documents), wipe both drives, merge them together, and install a fresh copy of XP, with all my files on 1 drive. The installing windows part isn't an issue (I've done it loads of times), the problem is that I need to know how to merge the 2 drives together, preferably for free. Also it's the pc in my sig Any help is greatly appreciated. |
