    I would like to take my D drive , which is a fat32 logical drive( it has nothing on it),and put into my C drive (ntfs). So that I would have one big drive.

    I have a partition manager, but not sure how to use it( called EASEUS Partition Manager):confused

    Be careful when working on partitions--be sure you are selecting the right one so that you don't delete anything important.

    *********
    If you are sure there is nothing on the FAT32 partition (it isn't a recovery partition or anything like that?) then resizing C: should work like this:

    Basically you would open Esus and delete the D: partition.
    Then select Move/Resize and choose C: as the drive to resize.
    Use the up/down buttons to increase the size of C: until the "unallocated space after" is zero.
    Commit to changes.

    If you are unsure about anything post back before committing to changes.

    Hi Cheeze,

    If you have Partition Magic just MERGE D into C to save the data on D to C. Use any Folder (directory) name you like. You can move stuff around on C when you finish the whole process. Then Delete D, format it and RESIZE C. You will end up with the D data on C in the Folder you supplied to Partition Magic.

    Good Luck, Jim

    Hi again Cheeze,

    I forgot to mention that my suggestion only works if C and D are partitions on the same drive. If not then it's a simple matter to copy files from one to the other. Bear in mind that some programs don't like to be moved that way. There are programs that can move them safely.

    Luck, Jim
