Ok, so I have a Linux partition that I'm not using, so I want to add that space to my D drive. Now, I could delete both and then make a new partition from the free space, but then I'd lose everything on the D drive. So, is there anyway to just delete the Linux partition and add the space to the D drive in an easy way, like with the computer management thingy? Does it help that both are part of one extended partition?



Picture from the computer management program. The D drive and Linux drive are the green bordered ones (that's how it's supposed to be). (http://www.geocities.com/lenny131/Partition.GIF)

edit: I found out about a program called BootitNG. Hopefully it won't mess up my computer. ;)

Well Partition Magic will work. That's what I use.

I know, but this one has a free trial with all the features (or at least a lot of them). Now I just need to find out why when I run it from the boot disk I made it's in German.

Update: My D drive is now 8 GB bigger. It's only a temporary fix to my small space problem, but it's a lot more Naruto. :)
