Un-Partitioning

[johnnymk]

I have a 6GB hard drive, which originally came with a 2 GB and a 4 GB partition. This is a Laptop.
The 2 GB partition is starting to overflow. I used Partition Magic looking to expand the 2 GB partition. I didn't see any option to expand it, so I used one of the other options. Anyway, I now have 3-2GB partitions, which is worse than what I started with.
How can I expand my primary drive?

merge all the partitions using partition magic.

Option 2:

Use Ghost to make an image (backup the image to CD or another drive if possible), blow away the partions, make one big one and restore the image.

Option 1 may be easier, but this is more fun! lol... :)

you could try backing up the data and using a partition resizer (http://www.zeleps.com/)

make sure you allocate the free space proportionally..I can't remember if Ghost does this automatically, but I know DriveImage does not. I just did that, didnt check the right box (:hmm: ) and ended up having to merge the two. No big deal, I just should have done it right the first time.
