    Hey guys, I got new Asus n71jq and it came with 2 320gb hdd's.
    For some reason they decided to set it up into 4 partitions which seems kind strange to me and I would like to join the partitions so I can just have 2 original hdd's showing.
    Is there such a way to do that ? only one partition which has OS has data on it, the 3 remaining are empty. here's a screenshot.

    If they're empty, just delete the partitions and re-create them.

    Right-click Computer > Manage > Disk Management

    You should be able to do it from there.

    Oh yeah, if you need to modify the system partition, that won't work, so... you'll need to get a partition manager program (Paragon and Easeus have free ones... gparted is another option) and do it from there.
