I use the 20GB drive for OS and also installing general running programs, while using the 40GB drive for games, and data storage (photos, music, videos etc.). I now only have 3GB left in the 20GB drive, and also realise that Vista will require more space to install itself, so I figure the best option is to remove the partition and thus have a great big drive to play with....... Question is.... How the hell do I remove the partition? But, thinking about it a bit more, would I be better to take it to my local friendly computer genius, get them to install a bigger drive, and ghost across (or similar procedure) the existing data etc???? Oh dilemma!!!!!!! Craig. :D	arseynimz (6919)

I would move stuff to the other partition instead, which is the best way to have the drive setup! Anyway, unless you have a partition manager you wont be able to merge the 2 partitions into one, windows cant do it on its own	SolMiester (139)
