    Question about fdisk

    Ok, I had my drive partitioned into two parts, C: (7.4 GB) and D: (1.9 GB). I used fdisk to delete the D: partition, but my C: drive still says it's only 7.4 GB. What's going on?

    Nothing....

    C:\ won't grow just 'cause there's space on the drive.... I had about 7gb unpartitioned for a few months(was too lazy to partition it. )....

    Answer to all of your partitioning problems (except with Windows XP and NTFS): PARTITIONMAGIC!

    NTFS also.

    I think Partition Magic 6.0 can cope with NTFS partitions. Not sure is can convert to/from NTFS, but I thinbk it will create, resize, and/or move NTFS partitions.

    And we can't forget System Commander 2000. Although it's a boot manager, it also has an excellent partition editor. You can create, edit, and delete nearly any type of partition, including FAT, FAT32, NTFS, Linux Swap, Linux Native, Unix, BeOS, and more. You can even define your own type(via a hexidecimal value you enter).
