i've recently bought a 'hdd media player' off good old ebay......

it came with a 40gig 'laptop' hdd, which is split into 2 partitions, one 32gig, one 8gig......

i want to get rid of these partitions and have just one 40gig drive.....

i have partition magic 8, which pops up with an error about the drive having different types of partitions to what it can handle.... :crazy:

do different partitioning programs have different 'types' of partitions?

when i view the disk in pm8, it just shows it as one single drive, and labels it as being bad :nervous:

i've tried formatting [both ntsc and fat32], error checks, etc......but with no luck.....

it is knackered? am i going to have to get angry? :ouch:
 
sorted it actually....but thanks for the advice...... :rolleyes:

ran 'compmgmt.msc' which let me delete the previous partitioning.....

;)
