You must remove both of the partitions and logical drives on that drive. &nbsp;They will then show up as one large drive. &nbsp;Then create a new partition using the entire drive.

I use Windows XP and have created several partitions on my hard drive. I had 70GB unallocated and then deleted a 40GB &nbsp;partition and would now like to create a partition of 100GB. I assumed that the unallocated space would be pooled together but now find that I can only create a new partition out of either the 70GB or the 40Gb but not the two together.<br />
<br />
Is there anything I can do about this?

Partitions and unallocated memory.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
