Vista - Repartition HDisk - reinstall vista

02-29-2008

I am going to reinstall my OS in a few days (Vista Home Basic) and I want to
merge the two partitions I have now (C and D) together. They each have
approx. 38GB of space.

Is this possible? Isn't it when you install using Boot-from-CD and you just
select "remove" the D:\ partition and the remaining space gets transferred to
C:\? Or do you have to do something else?

FYI: I'm going to perform a clean install.

Hopefully I don't have to purchase a third-party solution, unless it is an
absolute must.

During the installationprocess, you can remove both partitions, and make
a fullsize partition.

Deleting D:\ doesn't add it to C:\, but as the other poster mentions,
deleting both partitions will do what is necessary.
