Hi Ed, Unfortunately, Win95 original will only support a max of 2.1GB hard drive. That is why your 3.1GB hard drive had 2 partitions. IMHO  Your best and easiest solution would be to upgrade to Win98 and then use PartitionMagic to resize your hard drive In any case to have only 1 hard drive of 3.1GB, you'll need Win95B or higher.... Only with great skill can Win95 original be upgraded to Win95B.... A lot easier to upgrade to Win98...etc. We used to upgrade Win95 original to Win95B before Win98 came out... to take advantage of a single big drive.... t2ul8tr Hugh          At 06:32 PM 11/6/99 -0500, you wrote: Hugh, I'm running windows 95 original.  I have 2 physical hard drives.  One is Drive D.  The other was partitioned into drives C and E.  I deleted E with FDisk and thought C would just expand by that much.  Is there anyother way to expand the C: portion other than partition magic or copying all the data to a tape backup (which I have) and reformatting the C: drive.  Is this a possible solution?   thanks,   Ed                                 \\\\!////                               \\  _ _  //                               (  @ @  )  -------------------------oOO--(_)--OOo-------                   MI-COM Technology         Computer Solutions for Small Business  Helping you access and travel the Information Highway                   Hugh A.
