Merge Partitions

Is there any way to merge two partitions without making one partition a folder of the other partition?

Both Partition Magic 8 and the Windows XP disk manager will merge two partitions, but it makes one of the parititions a folder of the other partition.

I got into this situation because I have a 200GB hard drive, and when I install Windows XP Pro (cd doesn't have SP1), it only recognizes 127GB. After I install all the updates, it sees the other 60GB, but I can't add it to the original partition. I can only turn the free space into another paritition.

Thanks for any advice.
 
I think that you can have partition manager do what you need.

Are you using MAPPED drives or DYNAMIC drives of any sort?
If you aren't sure what i mean, go to disk manager and have a look
 
Do NOT use Partition Magic for merging partitions.

Partition Magic is known to corrupt data when merging partitions. Just do a Google for Partition Magic and Merge and you will see all the complaints from people who have lost data and need to know how they can get their data back.
