I have a 320 hard drive partitioned into two 160 drives, have XP on one (C)
and Windows 7 on the other (D), i want to get rid of the Windows 7 and make
it all one drive keeping the XP one.

If i format D and merge that to C will that suffice ? i dont want it to keep
asking me at boot up which OS to select.

any help appreciated

Cheers

Why not just post the entire URL? The day of the trusted

If a user is skilled enough to analyze the text of a link, he should
not be afraid of clicking on a link. I'm not.

Checkout FDISK's infamous /MBR -- I run it on general principles,
although its saved my butt a couple of times with embedded crap-outs
resulting from Norton or boot-loaders
 
Why would you not want to format the Windows 7 partition after
deleting?? If you want to make your HDD all one partition I can see
it, but a person wants to keep it a separate partition, what would be
the problem with formatting it after the un install?? Just wondering!
