okay give me a while .and then I will see what I can come up with for you.
Don't look to bad, as long as you are willing to give it some time, a you
may need to move files etc around each time you change a partition.

| You can do a few different things with Partition magic, like making
| partitions grow etc.  Need really to know how the hard dick is set up, and
| how much free space there is on each partition you have already.
|
| With that I may be able to help you move the partitions about ,and delete
| any you do not want, and keep all your data.
|
| If you can draw a picture of take a copy of the screen from Partition
magic,
| it would help a lot.

| This is the scenario:
|
| My hard drive was going bad. Ordered a replacement, and due to the
holiday,
| it took a few more days. I received the hard drive, and was too busy with
| work to do what I wanted to do in the first place, which was to cut down
my
| partitions and start with a clean slate, although saving my years of
| documents and downloads and email. The hard drive arrived, and since I had
| no time to do what I wanted to, and also due to mail volume and needing to
| clear the messages off my server, I made the one going bad a slave, and
used
| the MaxBlast to just copy it to the new one. I now want to do my original
| plan, which is to cut down the number of partitions that I have, and clean
| up my 'puter.
