I have a USB HD I partitioned in XP. Now, in Vista hOME Premium, I want

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?

There is no "undecided". Either you end up with one or two, and it's not ambiguous.


Ummm, as we speak, the decision is still not made - thus, undecided.
Most likely, I will end up combining the 3 into 1 partition. Most likely, but not cast in stone.
