    You'd have to use something like partition magic.

    but it is possible though right? to join two partitions without the lost of data. I have never used any partition programs.

    Yes it is. I have personally done it with Partition Magic although it has been a few years.

    In case you never figured this out...
    Is the Wireless Zero Config service running and set to auto? If not make it that way and that should make windows take over the controls.

    also in the properties of the wireless network connection, in the wireless networks tab, make sure the "use windows to config...settings" is checked.
