I hope to make this as clear as possible. On this XP of mine, the original owner of it partitioned it into 3 separate partions.
Since I have NEVER used ANY partition program, it was suggested I use this one http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
well, it of course was way over my head so I managed to get the OS put on C: drive & everything went fine & its running great
BEFORE MS completely shuts XP off of support, I'd like to try get rid of partition D & I so I could have one C : drive. I have no DVD's/CD's so that is out.
I have deleted 99.999% of what was on D & I drive. All that is left is a "thing" in the recycling bin that won't leave
IF there is a program for a NOVICE user to reformat the harddrive, kindly let me know.
This is not an absolutely necessary task for me,its just an idea I've had.
Alternately, I have a Maxtor DiamondMax 10 Model:6L 100Po 100gb PATA133 HDD
I could put in if it would work.
Thanks & I hope I am clear
