Win 7 on Logical D: want to move to Primary C: or merge both
Hi all,
I have a laptop that used to be running XP, I installed windows 7 onto the D: partition that I had for a while. This partition is Logical.
After using win 7 for a while I had no use to the XP partition and wanted the space back.
I formatted the partition that had XP on it, that caused my laptop not to boot because it lost BOOTMGR, I was able to fix it by copying the win 7 install disk to the C: root. That let me do a system repair and boot to windows 7. Thankfully.
Well, now I want to get my C: back and I'm not sure of the best way.
-Can I change the D: from logical to primary/active? I haven't been able to do it using -MiniTool Partition Magic (it sees the partition as Unallocated)
-Can I just merge the D: and C: back into one partition?
-Can I transfer the D: to C:
Not really sure of the best plan of attack. But from what I understand I need to first get the D: logical partition that has win 7 set to be primary/active?
Here are the screen shots of computer management and the 'unallocated' partition.
