    How do I get rid of a partitioned section of my harddrive.

    Without formating the original disc?

    Could be wrong, but i think you just right click the partition, (in dsk manager) and click extend, and enter the max amount.

    Right-click on "My Computer", choose "Manage". Click on Disk Management in the tree on the left and the select the partition you wish to remove and right-click and choose "Delete". If you wish you can right-click on the other partition on the drive and choose "Extend"
