Thread: How to join the partitions?

I have 360 GB hard disk. I have divided into two partitions i.e. 180 GB for Windows 7 Beta and 180 GB for Windows Vista. Now, I don’t want to use Windows 7 Beta anymore. So, I want to rejoin the 180 GB partition to Windows Vista partition. So, how can I do this? Do I need to reformat my operating system in order to join these two partitions?

No. No need to format your operating system and reinstalling. Right click on Computer (My Computer in Windows XP) and select Manage. In the UAC, click on Continue. Then, expand the Storage and click on Disk Management. Then right click on the drive on which you have installed Windows 7 Beta and select Delete Volume. Then, right click on the existing drive i.e. Windows Vista drive and select Extend Volume. Then, follow the on-screen wizard.
