I got this computer given to me, but the hard drive was partitioned. I don't need it partitioned I need the space for my stuff. So does anyone know how to unpartition the hard drive?

Have your hard drive re-formatted but all the files saved in both the partition will be lost. Backup first all important files, if you have one. Re-formatting your drive will give you an option if you want a single partition or multiple partition.

Hi Sknsknskn. I haven't been able to format the drive. It don't give me that choice. I am new to vista and still learning the ins and outs to this machine.

Hi Siliguri. I tried and it just don't work for me. Yet! I will figure it out sooner or later. Thanks though.

Steps to Unpartion

1)First backup all the data in some external source.
2)Right click on My Computer
3)You will get an option called Manage. If you dont find the option just search in windows search.
4)After clicking on manage you will get a window with a sidebar having different options in it click on the disk management tab.
5)There you will see all your hard drives and the partitions.
6)Just right click on the hard drive partition you want to remove and select the Delete Partition task.
7)The partition will get deleted and appear as unallocated space

Hope this helps you.
