Remove useless partition

[xrispleytre]

I received a Dell computer, on which they had partitioned 40 gigs of the installed hard drive for 'Backup'. I already back up everything on an external and would like to consolidate this partitioned space into my primary partition; hence removing the partition. Any quick ways to do this? I am running XP sp2.

Thanks and good luck!

Well, frankly, I would just delete the existing data and use the partition as-is,
unless it's NOT ntfs -- then reformat into NTFS.

If you have a special reason for fighting with that, then Partition Magic will
delete / combine partitions.

I need a full 200 gigs on the primary partition. I just need to append it to the existing partition.

see previous comment

BE SURE you have LBA support enabled in the BIOS and in Windows

I saw your comment, the whole comment and nothing but the comment. I already downloaded Partition Magic and took care of the whole problem. I guess I should have said THANKS.
