Start ==> Run ==> diskmgmt.msc
This will start the disk management console. Right click the partition and
delete it. You will need a 3rd party tool if you want to extend your system
partition into the now unallocated space. You can't do it with the built in
tools in Windows.
A better solution would be to buy an external hard drive and a disk imaging
program. Image the system partition to the external drive. Boot from the
imaging program's boot CD, delete both partitions, and restore the image to
one large partition. This has the added bonus of creating a backup and also
a means of creating future backups.

Hi there,
WIN XP Prof
I had a hardware failure on the HDD and had to have it replaced. The
guy and the compu shop created two partitions on the HDD. I don't
like to have my HDD partitioned into two drives.
The XP Prof CD with SP2 on it, does not have the option to boot from
CD for me to have access to the command prompt. Neither does it have
fdisk on it.
How do I delete this second partition? I want to do this before
re-installing all my software.

Deon
