    Getting rid of Linux partitions


    Earlier I restored my windows bootloader. Now I just need to delete the old Linux partitions and expand my Windows partition to regain the full size of my harddrive? How do I go about this and what are the dangers?

    This is what I currently have:

    In Disk Management, right click on the partition and 'delete volume' and then 'delete partition'. Make sure you end up with 'unallocated space' - not freespace. Then right click on the C partition and 'Extend'.
