I loaded XP on a 14 GB drive and somehow I partitioned it into a 2GB section
for the OS and I want to put it back to just a single 14GB. How do I do this?
HELP PLEASE!!
 
Hi,

You have two choices:

1) A third party tool to redo the partitioning without destroying the
existing installations (though there are no guarantees against loss of
data).

Partitioning programs:

BootIT NG www.terabyteunlimited.com
Partition Magic www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic
Partition Commander http://www.v-com.com/product/pc_ind.html
Ranish Partition Manager http://www.ranish.com/part/

2) Start over. Boot the XP CD, and at setup delete the existing partitions.
Create one new one from the free space, then format and start the
installation.

Unless you have a commercial application ( EX:
Partition/Boot Magic) you will not be able to change the
partition scheme without reinstallation of the operating
system.
