  I'm hoping someone has had experience with this issue....
  
  I use Win XP SP2.  I have a 120gb external  HD that was formatted into 3 partitions about 40gb each.  I want to get it back to a single 120gb drive. In Windows disk management the disk shows up as 1 healthy partiton and 2 healthy logical drives each roughly 40gb.   If I delete the 2 logical drives will that 80 gb of space become available?  If so, how do I combine it with the first 40 gb partition to get to a single 120gb drive?
  
  Can XP's disk management do this without having to use fdisk?  I dont need any data on any of the partitions so the partitions will be empty.
  
  Thanks for any help.
