merge 3 NTFS partitions into 2 (Win XP) without reinstalling

I partitioned my hard drive as follows:

  • C as primary
  • S partition.

I would now like to have only one partition, C.

So I deleted the S partition.

How do I add this S partition, which is now deleted, to the C partition?

Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management Right click on the C: partition and select Extend Volume. Note that it must be NTFS and there must be empty space next to it to be able to extend it.

You can use Parted Magic. It's pretty handy and free.

GParted is also a nice solution, it's available on most Linux Live CDs, especially Ubuntu. Just install it on a USB stick, boot from it, and when you're in Linux, run GParted to edit the partitions as you wish.

You will have to use a third-party software like Partion Magic

You can download free trial but this good application is not free...

This an example among a lot of other application. It's up to you to chose the one that fits your needs.

You can boot from a Linux LiveCD and use GParted.
