Hi Bob, Well, I took the plunge last night, lol. Just before I pressed "enter" when
dos asked me if I knew that all information on D: would be erased, I took a deep
breath and.....pressed it. It worked fine. There is now nothing on D: and I've deleted
all DISE folders I could find on C: Thanks so much!! I've been trying to get this
done for at least 2 1/2 years now, and never really knew how to go about it. One
last question, if I ever decide to delete the D: partitiion and merge it into C:,
is there a program you'd recommend? I know about "Partition Magic" but wasn't sure
if something better was out there. Thanks again......Jim Helwig
