| 748091 | 2009-02-14 22:58:00 | My 80gb hard drive in my laptop is almost full. The c: drive is almost full but the d: drive has 16gb free I know I only have one hard drive (I have opened my laptop up to prove it) but how can i merge them back together and just create a C: disk |

| 748092 | 2009-02-14 23:04:00 | I would say you cant, the other partition is probably the recovery disk/cd partition If its the recovery partition, you could probably create the cds / dvds from it, then wipe it. Only thing is, you wont be able to restore it (unless you use the cds/dvds). But then, it may recreate the partition anyway (If you do this) |

| 748093 | 2009-02-14 23:30:00 | You probably can't merge them as C is your windows drive and D is your data drive holding docs pics etc merging would delete data. You might also have a small partition as a recovery partition as well like Speedy said. Your best option would be buy a bigger HDD and clone the old one onto the new as then the new partitions on the new HDD would be bigger | gary67 (56) | ||
| 748094 | 2009-02-14 23:38:00 | You could try resizing it with Disk Management if you have vista, or Gparted or Easeus Partition Manager | Blam (54) | ||
| 748095 | 2009-02-14 23:56:00 | I do have vista but how i am i suppose to resize the partition Also i don't want to buy a hard drive |

| 748096 | 2009-02-15 00:00:00 | You do it in disk management wherever this is If that doesnt work, you'll have to uninstall some programs / delete files you dont need. Or use ccleaner. See how much it can remove |

| 748097 | 2009-02-15 00:03:00 | Run>Diskmgmt.msc Shrink D, then expand C. If it only lets you shrink 1gb max, then download the trial of perfect disk, run the Smart defrag, then you should be able to shrink it more. If that still doesn't work, get gparted, burn it to a CD and boot from the CD then partition it |

| 748098 | 2009-02-15 00:07:00 | Or, move what you need from D: to C:, and get rid of D: altogether. :D | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 748099 | 2009-02-15 00:21:00 | D: is now shrunk. Problem is that it will not let me expand C: at the moment i have no room to move all my D: files to C: |

| 748100 | 2009-02-15 01:14:00 | i don't know if this will help but when i look closer there is a green bubble around D: and Free space |
