i've recently had a new hdd fitted, and my old one was slip in 2, C:/D: now i've got C:/D:/E:/ and a CD drive F:/ it's annoying, I was wondering if someone could tell me how to unsplit the drive, so i'd have C:/D: again :D

First of all i assume that you new hard drive is the seconday E:/ drive as the C:/D:/ drive will have your operating system on, so what you should do is copy your first hard drive C:/D:/ to your second E:/ hard drive (as long as the E:/ drive is big enough for both partitions)then using fdisk on your windows boots disk (which you may have to make) and delete extended partition D:/ and primary partition C:/ and create a new primary partition, this would give that drive just one partition, now copy the first partion on the second hard drive to the newly partitioned hard drive and if their is anything on the second partition it is best to just copy that in windows to the first hard drive (do not copy whole hard drive though as this weill leave you back ware you were with 2 partitions) then this will give you the opertunity to fdisk and remove 2 partitions from the second hard drive and make it as one. Or just get partition magic it is a really nice piece of kit that will do all your messing around with partitions without haveing to lose your software.
Remeber after partitioning hard drives you have to format them.

Mess around with fdisk (start -> run-> "fdisk") or Partition Magic, which you need to buy. It's pretty simple, although chances are you'll lose all your information, on the C:\ drive at least.
