Use Partition Wizard to delete all the partitions you do not want. From the resultant unallocated space, create a single Primary partition. Now merge this new Primary partition into the existing System partition.
The tutorial shows clear examples of how this is done.
Hi Guys,
Apparently, my HDD was too far 'fragmented' to fix. I tried the PW steps in the order you gave them, but then my system would no longer boot into my C: Windows partition.
So, I reinstalled Windows, which was a blessing itself, because it fixed a problem that had gone unfixed by a prior re-installation of Windows: The blasted "RED X" on the Speaker Icon in the Task Tray, with 'No Audio Device Installed' error message.
I am in the process of reconfiguring my new setup, and it seems that the sound is now working. I am just hoping that it continues to do so.
Take good care, and thanks again for all your help!
Maybe you should do a HDD test, fragmentation should not matter.
