    Hello. So I'm running close to full on my D: drive, which I have steam stored. So I was wondering. Is there any way of combining E: with D:, under the same letter as one drive? My G73jh shows 4 different drives.

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Yes this can be done (known as extending). I only have C & D drives IF you are running win 7 and assuming you have nothing on E this should work:
    From desktop right click on computer, then open manage, disk management. Delete the E drive, then extend the D drive to take the whole partition.

    This link may be worth looking over if you need more details

    Good luck, J
