Hi,I'm doing some cleanup, and I've come across something that I am not sure about. I have a Sata drive with 3 partitions. I have data on one of the partitions. The other two partitions are now empty after the file cleanup. If I were to delete these partitions, would it just revert to one primary partition on the drive, keeping the data on the first partition intact, or would it delete everything on the drive. The other two empty partitions were set up as primary, as well as the partion with data on it. All 3 are a primary partition.Thanks Bill

You can delete empty partitions at the end of the drive without disturbing the first partition.After deletion, you can expand the first partition to fill the drive.But, always back up first !

Bill, If your using partition magic, simply increase the size of the partition that you intend to keep and it will draw down space from the unused sectors until all the space is then a single partition.Good LuckTony

Thanks for the replies guys!Bill
