    Any advice for this? I'm a new owner and would rather have 1 partition per drive vs 2 each for 4 total.

    I used Drive Manager in Windows. Delete the 2 extra partitions, and then resize your existing ones adding the free space.

    Thanks, exactly what I needed. I stuck with 3 though out of laziness. I had already installed several programs to 2 of the 3 non boot drives.

    Windows 7 has a handy partition manager that can make changes to live filesystems without loss of data. You don't need another tool.

    start > rightclick on computer > manage > storage > disk management

    If you need help from there, you can probably find a nice explanation online.
