    Hard drive with two partitions seeing as two disks!


    Hello There,

    My PC has a hard drive (150GB) with two partitions of 75GB each. The OS is running in one partition and data are saved in the second partition. Now I would like to increase the size of the partition with the OS and I can't because Gparted and Acronis see two different disks. Why this is happening? What can I do to solve this problem?
    I would appreciate very much your help!

    Regards,

    Hello Acompay, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Could you post a screenshot of your Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) window showing all of your HDD's layout? This will give us a better idea of what options you may have. :)
