430234 2006-02-14 05:50:00 I recently got a new computer. and decided to take my old hard drive out of my old computer and add it to my new computer, so i have 2 hard drives.

The old hard drive was 80gb and it was partitioned in 2 so i use the mange tool to combine to 2 partitions into one, and when i did this it seemed fine. but now when i click the "My Computer" Icon it take up to 10 min to load. whats going on? :badpc:

430237 2006-02-14 08:53:00 you trying to partition from withen windows? if so its not always a good thing.

sometimes things get iffy if there is data on another drive that is marked d drive and its now e drive etc. that may be the casue. otherwise need more info on your pc and drives.
