2nd hard drive removing partitions?
I have recently installed a 2nd (slave) hard drive . Originally it was the primary drive on a computer i am now using for parts.
All the data is still there and i have it all backed up.
MY question is . This 2nd drive i originally set 4 partitions and now i would like to remove them and set it as 1 partition . Could someone provide hints or tell me of a good site to get a step by step from please.
I have used Fdisk before but never on a 2nd drive and never when i had data that i didn't want to lose i.e it would be a real pain re installing my programmes again on the main drive if i got some setting wrong which is what i'm trying to avoid during the re partition.
Thank you in advance

Use any WINDOWS install disk.. and go through the process of re-installing...
When it gets to the questions about PARTITIONING... Highlight each partition and type "D" for delete. Do that until it's all UN-PARTITIONED SPACE. (carefully read the prompts - it will ask you to type "L" to confirm)
Then Create a Partition and declare the WHOLE disk, by specifying the maximum number of disk records available. Be advise you may lose a few of them, due to GEOMETRY.

use the installation cd and delete all partitions so they're unallocated area or use something like gparted on an ubuntu stay cd and try this quite, yet you wont have the possibility to place in homestead windows except you pop that cd in and reboot and you're turning out to be all 250 gigs you got, you in basic terms have it divided between 2 partitions
