I recently purchased a 200 gig drive and wish to re-partition one of
my old drives which now has 3 partitions, D, E, F, into one partition.
This is not a boot drive. I'm not sure how to do this as I've never
had to do it before, and I've found windows help to be kind of
confusing. I'm running XP Home. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Hi,

Once Windows is installed on the new drive and the old drive is installed and
viewable to Windows, go to Start - Run and open Disk Management using the
following command.

diskmgmt.msc

Right click on the partitions to delete and select Delete Partition... Be
careful not to select the wrong one!
In resulting Unallocated space create the new Partition.

Answered in another newsgroup. Please do not send the same message
separately to more than one newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so just
fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one newsgroup doesn't get to
see answers from others in another newsgroup. And for those who read all the
newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they see the message multiple
times instead of once (they would see it only once if you correctly
crossposted instead). This wastes everyone's time, and gets you poorer help
than you should get.

If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please do so
by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

Please see "What is the accepted way to share a message across multiple
newsgroups?" at http://smjg.port5.com/faqs/usenet/xpost.html
