Combine Partitions

Hi

I have Vista Home Premium fully updated.

I have a hard dive with two partitions.

In Disk Management Disk J is shown as Healthy (Active, Primary Partition)
Disk K is shown as Healthy (Logical drive)
Neither partition hold the operating system.

How do I combine these into a single Partition using Disk Manager?

thanks

Daniel

Hi

thanks for the link to the page, what a great Help site.

However I have a problem, when I right click and select Extend Volume I get a message saying the resulting drive will be "Dynamic", there are no options, I select OK then I get a message saying that Dynamic disks are not supported by this OS
and the extending fails.

I have googled it and found this

Microsoft's blunder - bit-tech.net Forums

Cheers

Daniel

Thanks Richard, that should get me there, I am a bit "all over the place" at the moment but I should try it over the next day or so.

Thanks for your help.

No worries, thanks

I tried to give you some Rep but it seems you were also my last helper so I cannot until I give some to someone else.

Seems to me that it is not your fault that you are the one that helped me previously and most recently!!

You are also helping me on another thread....

:)

Cheers

Daniel,
I know that I have helped you before and will as long as you have questions.
With regards to rep, yes it is nice to be repped and it is appreciated. You must give to 5 others before giving, again.
Most of us here would rather get a sincere thank you and success with a problem. Hopefully, that goal will be reached in this thread.
