    I just got a 120 GB hard drive from a friend of mine that was in a fairly new compaq. I popped it in my Rig and everything works fine except for one thing. Compaq an HP like to do this thing where they make part of your harddrive a deadicated recovery thing. It shows up as a completly different drive. So when I put in this knew one it shows up as two new hard disks. Anyone know how I can consolidate them back into one single disk? Are they just two partitions on the same disk?

    My Rig:
    AMD 3500+
    2x512MB PC3200 RAM
    Radeon X1600XT
    Biostar Tforce U mobo
    250 Gig Western Digital ATA100
    120 Gig Western Digital ATA100 <-------Drive that appears as two
