Any how,

Last time I repartitioned a hard drive (several years ago), it was something like an 85%, 15% partition. I ended up losing access to the 15% completely some how. That's just a little background stupidity info for my question.

When you install Win2k, you have the option at some point to repartition the drive(s). If I'm taking 2 virtual drives and repartitioning them back into one whole drive, what are the specific steps to not f*** it up? I only ask, because this is my dad's boss's computer, and I don't feel like hearing a bunch of crap if it gets hosed.

1.19 GB here aswell, I suppose it depends on what extras you have installed though.

I cut that down to about 900 megs, there were some temp files in there.

I should write a batch file to delete the temp files on shutdown or startup...

The are also all the pictures aswell, media files, most of the fonts etc. That could take a fair amount off.

Being that I'm a web designer, I have about 100 megs of fonts...
