Does anyone know how to or know of a program the will merge 2 NTFS partitions. One is the primary partition and the other one is extended. I want to do this without reloading the OS and formating the hard drive.

I just did it the other day using partition magic 7, it will take a while though (hours depending on your disk size) after it performs the transition it will go through an exhaustive file check and verification. I had a 10GB primary and a 10GB extended partition, both NTFS, that I combined into a single partition. Run the "merge partition" utility in PM 7.0 and everything is self explanatory. Like I said it will take hours for the entire process to complete.
