I have a 20gb hdd (i know, my comp is really old)
i have 15gb set to my c drive and 5gb set to my f drive
if i delete my f drive, will it add those 5 gb to my c drive, or will that data just be lost

also, can i delete my f drive just by going to my comp and right clicking on it, then pressing delete

thanks

I don't think you can delete it. You can format it, but will lose your data. The only way to incorporate the 5gb into the 15 without losing the data is either use a tool like norton partition magic, copy everything in both partitions to another source, fdisk create a single partition copy the info back over and hope it works, "there will always be a file association problem somewhere," or start all over, fdisk, then create a single partition. But you really don't want to do that. Windows crashes enough as it is. Just remember to backup your info and if you do have to reinstall. Then create a single partition. Harddrives are getting pretty inexpensive now, you might want to add another and copy over. Western Digital has a utility to transfer, called Data Lifeguard. It works.
