kurisu

I recently got an old hard drive out of somebdy else's computer ,my intention is to use it for just basic storage it 40 gigs but its been partition and appears as two seperate hardrives on my comp, was wondering could any tell me how to to format it and merge the to partitions?

papu

control panel >administrative tools > computer management > disc management

find the volume you want then click on the partitions and right click and delete do that to both of them , them click on the raw space and right click and partition make it ntfs and make the partition size as big as the raw space left
