    How do you merge two hard drive partions? Recommend me a program?


    Hello , I just recently purchased a ASUS computer.

    But it came with 2 partions

    C:/ 75 GB
    D:/ 275 GB

    The C:/ Has all the windows files.

    The D:/ has nothing on it. I want to merge both C:/ and D:/, without losing anything on C:/,

    Can anyone recommend me a program to do this?

    Thank you.

    You'll need to delete the D: partition using the following tutorial...
    Partition or Volume - Delete

    ...and then extend the size of the C: drive using the following tutorial.
    Partition or Volume - Extend

    This can all be done from Disk Management (a Windows program) so no external software is needed.

    EDIT: Before this, follow what Shawn has posted below.

    Hello The Last Byte, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Before doing anything, please post a screenshot of your Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) window first to make sure that you will not have any problems with doing what Jaidyn posted above. :)

    Hmm, now I cannot extend the C;/ partion, but the free space thing gives me an option to delete the partion. Do I do that? Or what?

    Did you delete the D: partition first? If you did, you should be able to extend the C: drive.
