Damo Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 My Laptop has a 30gb HD, split in to two 15gb partitions, 1 has win XP the other HAD Linux, I successfully uninstalled Linux, but am left wondering how I go about having the HD as just one 30gb drive for XP.Is there a way I can get rid of the old Linux Partition, incorporating it with the other WITHOUT having to re-install windows?TaDamo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Only if you use Partition Magic. (Or similar) :( Why not keep it as two drives anyway, keep your personal files on the second one and if you ever have to format C and reinstall... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo Posted October 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 But now that I've got rid of Linux of the second partition I'm unable to access that space from Windows, it just won't see it.Hmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Use a 98 boot disk, delete the non dos partition, then create a dos partition,stage 1http://www.cybertechhelp.com/html/tutorial...orial.php?id=36stage 2http://www.cybertechhelp.com/html/tutorial...orial.php?id=37I think should do it, but is C Fat 32 or NTFS could be problem then, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
