I have a w2k machine here with a 40GB drive. For whatever reason, it has 2 partitions, 10GB for the C drive and 30GB for the D drive.
I'd like to turn it all into a single 40GB C drive without losing any data or breaking the booting process.
How can it be done?
How much data is on the 30GB partition? How much is free on the 10GB partition?
Do you have another drive you can install to copy stuff off the 30GB partition?
There's about 3GB free on each partition.
I might have another drive, have to look around.
30 GB is not big today.
I would copy the content of D: on a usb disk, then boot from a Live Linux cd/usb.
Most of them have gparted on them which can delete D: and expand C:
For example SystemRescueCD. The GUI is not enabled by default, you have to type "startx" in the terminal after boot.
If the computer can't boot from usb nativelly, Plop Boot Manager provides the option.
But I usually have to go to "settings" and choose "force usb to mode 1".
Backup D: filesystem, delete D: partition, resize C: partition and filesystem, copy files back.
