I just bought an Asus Eee PC (with a 160 gb hdd), and the drive came with a partition. I don't want this partition. It's 60gb, and the main partition (obviously) is 100gb.

I'd like one big drive, how do I get rid of the 60gb partition and merge it with my main "C" drive???

Thanks
 
Windows Vista and Windows 7 will allow wipe the partition and merge it using disk management.

If you are running Windows XP and do not want to reinstall, then you will have to use a 3rd party Application, Partition Magic?
 
Thanks, that worked...I've never had to delete a partition before.

Worked like a charm
Thanks!!!

GParted is free and (IMO) better.

I have used GParted and would have recommed this, but I know one thing partition magic will do is move data out of the way before spliting/joining partitions. I have not used Gparted to join parts, so i am not sure how it will handle data like that.

Anywhoo, I am glad it worked for you.
