: I have a used hard drive that is split into 5 drives. How can I make this into one?
There's two ways I know of. Either a drive manager program like Partition Magic, which you can use to take those extra four drives and switch them over to your C drive. If you have a program like this, you should look at the help files about how to move the partitions.
The other way is fdisk, a DOS command. As far as I know, there is no way to do this without essentially wiping out your drives. You might be able to do it only wiping out the extra drives you don't want. I'd have to have the thing running in front of me looking at it to tell you. (I'm getting ready to do just that as soon as I get off line, as a matter of fact.) If you are prepared to backup a lot of stuff and re-install some things and would like to know how to use fdisk, just email me. I'm in the process of doing some stuff to my own computer at present and may not get back to you right away.
