Format HDD with 2 partitions
Hello. here's the background.
My SSD system hdd crashed. Took it back to retailer, unsure whether I would get a replacement, so bought a velociraptor HDD and installed Win7etc. Some time later received replacement SSD for the failed one, so installed it, disconnected the velociraptor, and reinstalled Win 7 on the replaced SSD.
Now I want to format the velociraptor and use it for backup.
It has 2 partitions:
100mbNTFS healthy, active, primary and
139.64gbNTFS healthy, Primary
How do I combine these into one partion and format them so I end up with a clean, basic disk
I have read about extending volumes and have formatted plenty of disks in the past, but it seems there is the possibility of changing the disk to a dynamic disk, and I want to avoid that.
I would greatly appreciate advice on how to do this.
