Disk partitions

[Brian J Coutts]

I have a disk with 2 partitions on it. The main partition is my Windows 2000
Pro installation. In error I made it dynamic. I wish to remove the 2nd
partition and increase the size of the 1st to the maximum size available. Is
there a way to do that, or a tool to do it, or must I bite the bullet and
use fdisk (or similar) to delete the partitions and start again.

You can try this:

It looks scary but it actually works! Of course it goes without saying
that things don't always work as expected and that you may loose all the
data on the disk if you botch tings, make sure you have a good backup!
Don't try this on spanned volumes!
