[ask]How to Merge several drive on vista?

nukemelamers · 05-02-2008, 04:43 PM

I got VIsta home Premium SP1, with 160GB, it comes default by C and D drive equally,(70GB)
then i decide to make a little partition for installing XP pro,
what i did is using shrink volume on vista
then i made E:
so there is 3 drive now.

i am interested to install ubuntu 7.10, so i tried to install it then it makes 2 partition (1,linux swap file & 1 linux drive)
so then the total is 5, after it was finished i reboot and change to vista to check everything, after that i would like to try the new ubuntu then i reboot....
...
....
GRUB loading 1.5
Error 17
i was so confuse , i cant do anything ,the only thing i got is install ubuntu again, then i creates 2 more partition(ough) ,but after that it comes normal without any problem
(total 7 drive)

1 month later i decided to remove all the ubuntu, so there is now
7 Drive NTFS file,
C,D,I,K,X,Z,H
I have Both Vista and XP pro

-------------------------------
now how do i merge 4drives, (K,X,Z,H drives) both is extended partition

,any solutions? ? ? (without re-installing OS / lost any data)
those drives is so annoying.
