Anyone know windows based app that will do this?

Partition magic is minty, but it freaks/errors out if the partition is over ~300GB and my drive is a 1.5TB with a 400GB and the rest in another ( ~900gb ).

I've always had good luck with EASEUS. I use it on my 500GB and 1TB drives.

Disk Director?

Backup first of course.

this seems to be everything i wanted it to be, but one issue that i have... i don't have enough free space to merge the two partitions ( ~180gb free )

i guess this was all for not, Thanks guys.

format and remake new parts

i'm sure u need a format anyways

haha som,

This isn't my desktop ( that only has 110gb btw ), this is my NAS box with a main boot drive, then the 1.5TB drive.

i don't have other hdd's that i can backup ~1Tb worth of data so i can reformat it else i wouldn't be asking for some software like this

child porn ?

dials 911

sounds to me like you should have backed all your shit up to blu-ray along the way

btw why do you need to merge the partitions anyway?

Well, long story short,

i had the 1.5TB drive in my media-center, as its main boot drive ( C: ) and then a NAS partition ( D:).. i have a PVR with my current Tv provider, so this HDD was moved and installed in a standalone NAS as a secondary drive. and i would like to make the old C: and D: into one partition so i can use the remaining space.

I'll see if i can borrow a 500gb from a buddy of mine and free up some space and merge them.

I tried using EASEUS to shrink a raid0 partition and it corrupted everything

Ouch. I don't run mine in raid. May have something to do with it I guess.

Good one, Scourge.

I was going to suggest the same.

a month ago or just now

OIC. FU!

I love you guys... in a totally straight way.

Anywhoo, I had a melt down on my laptop, and had to disk the original factory on to it. during this, it said something about doing it to partition 3. One partition is the recovery... is it possible I can retrieve stuff from the bad partition? I don't know the first thing about this stuff... including - but not limited to - the right questions tuh ask here.

yes, try booting with a knoppix cd (google it) and have a usb drive handy to pull data.

Well considering the bump, Monday, i was able to free up enough space to use Disk Director and merge the partitions.

A forword for anyone that is going to use the software, you have to be able to MOVE one of the Entire partitions to another partition ( even if its the one that you're trying to merge ) For it to work.
