Subject: [PCBUILD] Repartitioning an installed hard drive


> Is there any way that I can repartition my 3.2gig HD, which is now
> partitioned into a 2.0 & a 1.2 gig HD?
>
> I am using Windows95 (original build) and recall reading once (a long
> time ago) about a utility which allows you to collapse both partitions
> into one large one - without losing data/files and which also reduces
> cluster size significantly.  I know that I could accomplish the same
> thing by installing Windows98, but I would like to avoid that, since I
> have heard bad things about Windows98 and it has taken me 2 years to get
> Windows95 to function properly (no crashes and only a few 'hangs' every
> other day or so).  Perhaps I should switch to Linux or WindowsNT.  I
> have WindowsNT 4.0 at the office and it has its own quirks, hardly an
> improvement over Window95.
