Had a copy of PM 8 - installed it. The "other" partitions at one time were
assigned to a Linux system and are currently identified by PM8 as such. .
While they are "seen" in the "picture" of partitions, they are not
accessible by the Move, Change Partition or any other PM 8 operation.
Ideas appreciated.
(Or maybe I should contact Symantec who acquired PM.)

Basically, if I understand your request, is that you want to:
1. Remove the Logical and All Extended partitions after E.
2. Move E: to the end of the now released free space.
3. Move D: to where E: used to be so that the free space is up against
C:
4. Resize C: to include the free space.
Windows XP does not permit this. However, there are third-party products
that do.
I use System Commander (www.v-comm.com), others are PartitionMagic (I
believe Symantec product),
another Acronis True Image.
The cheapest and easiest I believe is System Commander. Any of them are
a good investment.
BTW: Consider creating a separate Swap partition depending on the size of
your new free space. Just leave some free space at the end of the drive
when moving everything around.

I have a physical drive with three active partitions. Via XP's Disk
Management, I see two other partitions that at one time were used in a
Linux environment. The partitions do not have drive assignment, i.e. E,
F, G for instance. They are noted as Healthy (Unknown Partition). Right
clicking notes "Delete Logical Drive" (only, all other options are
grayed out). IF deleted, are they gone forever-or- is there space added
to Free Space?
Also . .
I have, C, D, and E. The two partitions noted above are beyond E. If
they, the above, can be added to Free Space (now 1.1 GB in size), I
could format them. If so, could I move stuff in E to the new
partition, stuff in D to what is now in E, and open up D to expand C?
Better said, how do I add Free Space to 'C'? Apps are in D and E. The
9.7 GB C is still crammed with about 10% free space!
