    Hello,
    I just bought a Lenovo Ideapad s10. It's a great netbook. The problem is that my hard drive has been partitioned into two partitions of 40 gb each.
    I want to combine/merge these two partitions. I have tried partition magic, which didn't work some reason. I tried Acronis, but I have to buy the program for it to work. Is there a free version where I can merge these two together? Will someone be also willing to explain it to me step by step on how I would be able to accomplish this?
    Please help. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Thank you for replying. I really appreciate it.
    This program will enable me to merge two partitions, correct? I hope it's easy to use as well.
    I've tried a couple of programs, and nothing worked! I don't know why.
    I hope I don't need a Windows CD. The Lenovo Ideapad doesn't have a CD-ROM Drive.
    Thank you.

    No need for the Windows CD. This is easy to use, it allows you to merge partitions from within the operating system your currently using, unlike the Windows built in. When you are ready, it will make you restart, then it does its thing, then when it is over, the partitions are merged.

    Hello.
    I downloaded the program, but I have no idea on how to merge or combine. I can resize and do whatever, but how would I merge the two together???
    Thank you.
