I have a USB HD I partitioned in XP. Now, in Vista hOME Premium, I want to unpartition (if that's a word) the HD. Can't find how to do it.


Exactly what do you want to accomplish? Am I correct in assuming that
you have two or more partitions, and you want to end up with just a
single partition, using all the available space?

If all you did was literally unpartition the drive, it would then be
unusable until you re-established one or more partitions on it.


currently the HD is divided into 3 partitions of roughly equal size.
No data of any consequence on any of the three. I can delete/reformat to my heart's content.
I want to end up with 'undecided' - one or two partitions. Does it matter?
