I want to reformat my 80 gig HD and make one big partition instead of my current 2 partitions.
I run Win XP Pro on it.

I tried fdisk command but it gave me an error.
What are the commands so that I can access the partitions and redo them into 1 and reformat the whole drive?

thx a lot
 
FDISK can only allocate space for FAT partitions. Since the maximum supported size of a FAT32 partition in 2000/XP is 32GB, you'll need to partition your drive during the XP installation. When it prompts you for the partition you want to use, delete all the ones that are displayed and create one large partition. Choose the option to format the file system as NTFS and you should be good to go.
