It looks like no one ever formatted the second partition.
You could do that (safely and non-destructively IF it is truly empty)
and have all your data on "D".
(BE SURE you do not format drive "C" by mistake!!!)

If you actually want to combine the two partitions into one,
get a good friend familiar with DOS type programs
and go to the following site:
http://www.ranish.com/part/
Since your drive size is 2G/FAT16, I am assuming that you
are using an older OS. The software on that site will only work
with older OSs (or more specifically older file systems.)
The software is free...   The price you pay is that it is "a little"
hard to use and user unfriendly unless you have worked in
a DOS/IBM "graphic type" interface.

I am trying to get partition information on a 2 GB drive.
The "Display Partition Information" is as follows;

Partition Status   Type    VL  Mbytes System Usage
  C:1          A    PRI DOS        1049    FAT16   52%
     2                EXT DOS          965                48%

Total disk space is 2014 Mbytes
The usable disk space is 1049 Mbytes as shown for PRI DOS.
My question is can the "EXT DOS" part be deleted and the
965 Mbytes be added to the "PRI DOS" so that I can use all of the 2 GB's.
Thank you in advance for any information.
