Ran into a problem with dual operating systems on hard drive

User: inactive Posts:

Hi:

I ran into a problem having two operating systems on my hard drive. My drive is rated 120Gb. I decided along with win xp to add a linux os. Both were successful as I was able to boot either system. What I did not realize is that my hard drive was partitioned and my first partition for win xp is now 32Gb. There are additional partitions that were added as extensions. At this time I want to remove the linux os and partition the rest of the drive to NTSF format continuing at 32Gb to the rest of the drive. How can I do this without damaging my win xp boot loader and losing my data? I do have a utility called Disk Genius put out by PC-Beginners web site. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you very much for your response.

Best Regards,

In Windows, right clik My Computer and select Manage. Under Storage click Disk Management and it should let you remove, create and format partitions.

As long as you leave the C: drive and your data partitions alone, the rest is open for play, but you should always be backed up before playing with partitions...
