I have an Acer Travelmate 8200 with a 100gig harddrive divided into two FAT32 partitions. I have windows XP Pro. I want to handle files larger than 4 gigs, and I hate having two partitions. I know there is a command prompt thing that I can do to convert a FAT32 to an NTFS partition, but I have two.... so what do I do? Should I convert one, restart, and then convert the other, and will they merge into one big NTFS parition?

You're probably going to have to format both disc in order to make one partion. Once formatted, at a command prompt type 'fdisk'. hit enter and delete the secondry partition, then the first. I don't know how you can convert to NTFS, just keep it in FAT32 and you can convert it in Windows Setup.

grab a copy of Partition Magic. i find it a wonderful piece of kit. it will allow you to merge two partitions into one and convert to NTFS without formatting
