Gaming Help using PartitionMagic

[MarioBrotha]

So I installed Partitionmagic so I could have dual-boot with windows7 and XP. However, after creatin a partition and installing windows7, I realized that most of my drivers didn't work, so I uninstalled it. But now one of the problems that I have is that I have a 22GB partition on my drive, and I don't know how to put it back on my C: drive. Can anyone help?

And another problem, when I boot the computer, I still have the option to boot windows7, even though its not there. Help?

use the combine partitions in the boot mode of PM...

you'll have to boot into PM, either from a boot disc, or the way it does it when you tell it to.

do the combine partitions

huh? I don't know how to do that. Can you tell me how to or give me a link that has the instructions?
And BTW I have a Acer Aspire One, so no CD drive

Just use gparted its free and easy.

ok, I was able to boot, but I still need to know how to use it.
Because right now I have 22GB of "unllocated" (or somethin like that) space.
And there is no opcion to merge or something.

Yes there is a option to merge 2 partitions together. Just play around with it or read on the site how to do it.

Write Gparted's image on a USB flash drive with Unetbootin (http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/unetbootin/unetbootin-windows-319.exe), and boot off that, then delete your 22GB partition and extend your main partition over that space.

Does anyone know a good partition program for Vista?

You could just use the built-in Vista partitioner or use a linux-based one like Gparted, which can be ran on a USB.
