How to merge space in Disk Management

binarysoul

It's been a while since I've worked with disk management in Windows XP.

I deleted two logical drives and now one shows as "unallocated space" and the other shows as "free space". I want both drive space merged, so I can format them as one logical drive.

Any quick solutions?

There must be someone who knows this

Are they on the same physical disk? If they aren't, or the space isn't contiguous, you can span the volumes. You need to convert them to dynamic first though.

It's on the same disk. It's XP home edition, so I don't think dynamic vol can work.

Yea, you're SOL with home edition as far as dynamic volumes go.

Why can't you just completely remove both and create a new partition?
