You can't really unpartition it. You can repartition with GParted, Partition Magic or even windows.

but how ? with windows ?

**Cromewell** · 08-10-2007, 09:43 PM

With windows, unless you have a dynamic disk, you have to delete and recreate the partition either from disk management or from the windows installer. You have to use the installer to delete the system partition. GParted and Partition Magic can resize them without destroying the data on them (usually).

Yes its not really called unpartitioning, its more resizing as mentioned, I would probably just use Partition magic to remove the old partition and merge the free space with your existing partition. It's pretty simple to do, just make sure you backup everything you want to save. Better to be safe than sorry.
