Is there a way to unpartition drives. ie c;d;e;f to just c:?

I have been trying to find a ms-dos command that will un compress local drives within my pc, but i have been unsuccessful.

No DOS command to do that. MS wants you to start over and format the drive to c: than restore and data from backups.

You can use Partition Magic to what you want, without destroying data. I've used it for a few years now and it works. You can find Part. Magic at every computer store, or you maybe able to download a trial version from the Web.

The previoius reply is correct. back up the drive, run disk and remove the unwanted partitions. you would then need an old version of partition magic, (E MAil me for this ) you could then stretch the C: partition to occupy the whole drive. Would probably be easier to fdisk the entire drive then set up a new c: partition to use whole drive.

Under windows 3.1 there was a data compression tool with a 2:1,4:1, and I forget the last option (6:1?) to compress a hard drive, going into compress gives an option to uncompress the drive (I believe) it was in control panel.

Sorry I can not be of more help, only used it one time 2 years ago!
