  • How to delete partitions?

    I have a desktop that has 2 copies of Vista and a copy of XP saved on it. Is it possible to delete 2 of the 3 operating systems and leave one intact or do I have to format the whole thing and go from there? I could use all the help I can get on this

    Same harddrive? If so, I would backup the data and start fresh.

      Yes, same hard drive. Evidently I was having issues at one point and said fuck it and kept adding new operating systems.

        It is very possible. Google "partitioning software". I used to use "Partition Magic" for just this purpose. However, that was WAY back in the DOS/95/NT 4x days and haven't messed w/ it in for ever. If it were me and there wasn't any real data on the drive, and I wanted it all for a new OS, I'd just delete all the partitions and reinstall.

        I have to assume you're familiar w/ the impacts, warnings, etc of modifying partitions. If not, then stop NOW.
        Good luck.
