Ken Normally the answer to this is no if you are using the normal FDisk that comes with windows. However, I've been using a Bootit NG from www.terabyteunlimited.com that can do what you are asking a whole lot more. It is a shareware product so after the 30 days <blah> <blah> <blah>. It may be overkill for what you want to use it for though. I'm sure you can find a similar Boot Manager / Partitioning / Partition resizing utility elsewhere. Ummmm, you don't give any specs on your system or what Operating system you are using and you may be limited according to this if you are using an older computer. (<1998 with win 95 on a FAT16 partition, I guess). Good luck Brendon <snip> After a HD has been partitioned into one or more partitions and then an operating system and software has been added to the primary partition, but nothing added to the secondary partitions, can the additional partitions be eliminated so that there is only one primary partition and all of this done without causing problems with the installed software. Sorry for the long sentence.
