How to remove a Partition without Formatting the Disk
I have 1 Hard Disk partitioned into two. C Drive and D Drive. I would like to remove the D Partition and make it one with the C Parition. How can I do this without formatting the hard disk and without spending money buying Partition Magic :)
I've attached a screen capture of my Partitions.

You will start by deleting the D: partition then go through the process of Extending a Partition to extend the C: partition.
It should be that easy.
Of course you should always make sure important data is backed up before doing any major changes to a hard drive.

hi jgmontgo,
When I click on the D Partition, the Delete and Shrink Partition options are dimmed out. Therefore I am unable to do anything. When I click on the C Partition, it doesn't allow me to Extend.
