My hard drive is a bit messed up. Had a linux partition and need to remove it. Problem is, I can delete the partition and create a new one using disk management because no other partitioning program can deal with my hdd. But then Im going to end up with three partitions on one physcial drive and I just need one huge partition. How can I merge them using disk management? I've tried partition manager, but like I said, it can't read my hdd.

Ranish Partition Manager...

just delete all the partitions you don't want... load the standard IPL boot loader... and press F2 to save.

I will eat my socks if it does not help you out! ;)
 
Boot with a linux cd and use the disk partitioning tools to remove all partitions.
The re-partition and format with windows.
 
Will try the program when i get to my place...and hopefully you won't have to eat your socks!
