Guest bigmal Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 I have a new computer with 80gb harddrive split into two drives, a primary and logical. Can anybody help me join the two drives as one? cheers -- I''d rather be Kayaking
Guest Richard in AZ Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Re: how to turn two drives into one As long as there is no data or programs on the second drive, you can use a program like Partition Magic to reduce the size of the second drive and increase the size of the primary drive. However that will not give you 100% of the drive back. Other than that, you would have to remove both partitions (drives) and reformat.
