New SSD and partitions on old HDD

[OptimumSlinky]

So I recently took the plunge on the Corsair GT 480GB SSD. I pulled my old HDD out, installed the SSD, enabled AHCI, installed a fresh version of Win7 on the SSD. Not problems there thus far.

However, my OLD 7200rpm HDD is still partitioned into (D: System) and (E: HDD). I reformatted the old drive after backing up all my data, but how do I get rid of that partition?

So far I haven't had any issues, and I know that Win is booting properly off the SSD. I just don't see the point in keeping that old System partition on the HDD that is just storage for music, movies, and documents.

Assuming Windows OS, open "Disk Management", right click drive area you don't want (system partition/volume on the hard drive you are not booting from) click "delete volume".

Once the unwanted volume is gone, you can use the same method to expand the partition/volume you do want to keep to integrate the empty space into the volume/partition you do want to keep.

Right. Done.

But it's still showing up in disk management as being a single HDD with two partitions. I tried reformatting and it's still two volumes. I just want it back to a single volume. Thoughts?

NVM. Resolved it.
