| | I want to go from 4 to 2 partitions I already have Vista Home Premium installed. I have 4 partions but only want 2. I went thru the help files and found you can shrink and delete partitions but can then only create new partions after that. I want to get to 2 partitions and then take the new available space and make the C: drive bigger and a small 2nd D: drive. Can I do this or do I have to boot from DVD, FDisk, delete partitions, make active and reinstall? |
