Gparted Question
« on: October 08, 2008, 11:58:26 pm »
I posted earlier about such a situation, but I am considering trying to combine my 30 gig C drive with my 30 gig D drive (also has about 20 gigs locked up in formatting and the like and the install partition that Acer threw on there). Has anyone here used Gparted to mash two partitions together like that? Data loss? I was thinking of emptying the D, delete it, and then expand the c to fill the rest of the drive. Any thoughts? Kinda nervous, as I don't want to have to reinstall.
Take care,
Weave

I used Diskpart on a windows machine at work to extend a drive. It worked the first time but then a year later when I went to do it again it said it couldnt do it because it could only extend to allocated space that was next to it. I never did figure that out. but when it worked the first time there was no data loss.
