Hard Drive Partitions
Hi,
I recently purchased a notebook computer, and i realized that my 80 gb hdd was split with a partition. The (c:) drive which is the primary physical partition has a capacity of 27.95 gb and it is the drive with windows installed on it and everything else. Where as the (d:) drive which is the logical drive has a capacity of 46.58 GB with nothing installed on it. Is it possible to simply delete the logical drive. And by doing that, would the disk space on that drive be moved to the (c:) drive.
help appreciated,

I'd do that with PowerQuest Partition Magic
It's the best program to manage partitions (easy and safe), but it's not free.
