OK, this is starting to annoy me, so I hope someone can help.
I'm reinstalling Windows XP, and before I had two partitions, C: & D:, C: for the OS and "productivity" apps, and D: for games. However, I want to combine the two partitions and just have bigger C: partition now. I'm not looking to do this with partition magic or anything as I'm doing a clean WinXP install.
However, when I boot up using the Windows XP disc and get to the partitioning utility I'm able to delete those two partitions but the two deleted partitions still stay grouped separately as unpartitioned space. Meaning it won't let me join the two together and make one partition. When I choose one of the unpartitioned spaces it only lets me make a max partition that is the size of one of the two previous partitions so I can't join them together. I have no idea if that's made sense or not.
Is there a way to fix this? Perhaps a separate boot-disk size partitioner that supports NTFS partition creation?
