H2SO4 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 When i reformated it was my first time reformating our desktop, so i kinda didnt know what i was doing. Ok, so heres the deal. I now have two partitions with win xp on them. Although, the second (first one there) doesnt boot up anymore. I think the partition got deleted but something was left behind or something that causes it to stil appear on the OS choice menu. Anyway, i need some kind of partition software to delete this partition. I dont think there is much data on this second partition. If anyone knows of any freewarem or something, please tell me.

JPQuiceno Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Sure, look up fsdisk. You can make a bootable floppy disk to partition. Or, you can download knoppix linux, the live cd, which has a GUI partitioner called " QTPARTED". Its awesome. and lets you create partiions.

Dave Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I recommend Partition Magic. It's not free (I think they do a demo or something), but it allows you to delete the old partition and resize the existing one to fill the entire disk. I've used it quite a lot.

radiohead Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 You can just use the partitioner that comes with teh Windows disk. That's what I use. Or Ubuntu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love QTPARTED. It's the best and it's free. Give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1veedo Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Bootit I found out has a decent partitioning software. It's actually designed to be a bootloader, but you tell it not to install, and it turns into a "manager" or something. Others posted here are probably better but this one does everything you'd expect a partitioner to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
