I got a question! I got the 1.5 TB version (2 HD), but it has 4 partitions (it´s called like that?) like C: 😧 F: E: , i want to have only 2, is there a way to eliminate 2 without installing windows again?? So i have C: with the OS and more programs with 750gb and other 750gb in 😧
Thanks!
Sure, that's easy to do. You use a Windows utility called Disk Management. Here are the basic steps if you want only one volume on each disc:
- Move any data that you need to save OFF the 😧 and F: drives. You will be deleting those partitions, and everything on them will be erased. (You will not lose data on the existing C: or E: drives.)
- Open Windows Disk Management
(Start -> type "disc" in the search window -> select "Create and format hard disk partitions" from the menu)
- You see two discs graphically represented. Disc 0 includes the C: and 😧 drives, while Disc 1 includes the E: and F: drives.
- Select the F: volume on Disc 1 and right-click. Select "Delete volume" and approve the delete in the warning dialogue.What used to be the F: drive is now shown as unallocated space on Disc 1.
- Select the E: volume on Disc 1 and right-click. Select "Expand volume." Windows examines the disc to determine how much room is available for expansion.
- A dialogue box opens, allowing you to choose the amount of unallocated space for the expansion. Use the entire amount and hit "okay."
- Your secondary hard drive is now one large drive.
Now you will expand the C: drive exactly the same way. Again, move any important data off the
😧 drive....everything on it will be
- Select the 😧 volume on Disc 0, right-click, select delete volume, and confirm. Disc 0 will now have unallocated space.
- Select the C: drive, right-click, and select "Expand volume."
- Just as before, use all of the unallocated space to expand your C: drive.
Now, you just have one large partition on each 750Gb drive. (Disc 0 will also have a hidden partition that's reserved for the restore image.)
