I got a laptop today, but it came with the hard drive partitioned in two. Is there a way to "de-partition" them without running Setup? I'm using Win XP Pro SP1, by the way.

Why do you want to take that partition out. What size is the drive and what is the break down. The partition is there to access files faster. But if you dont want that partition magic will do what you want.

Any decent partition management program will do the job. Only problem is, any decent partition management program is a commercial one. There's no decent 'freebie' that I've ever heard of!

A free partitioning tool but you need to know what you are doing to use it because it is all manual entries and no nice graphical interface like the commercial ones.

I don't think that utility handles NTFS partitions, does it? I certainly would not use it on a Windows XP system.
