I need to delete a partitions its only 7mb's but it labeled as c: and its empty the OS is on the d: partition of the HDD, the D: partition is NTFS running winXP pro, and the C: is FAT, any tips on deleting this partition and have the D: partition showing up as C:?

If you want to keep the data that's on D: then use Partition Magic. If not, then fdisk would be ok.

I guess I should have put that I needed to keep the data that is on D: I knew about partition magic but wasn't sure if they had a trial ver. so I guess I'll look, if not does anyone know of one that has a trial?
