I've got a PC, which I've just gone and installed Windows 2000 Professional on.

During the instal it asked me where to place 2000, and showed a list of drives available C:,D:,E:,F: each of these had 2GB, and another of 10GB which had to be configured.

The PC has only one drive of 18GB.

How do I get the drive back to just one i.e. C: of 18GB?

I haven't got a problem re-instlling windows.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Regards
 
When you install you have the option to delete existing partions. Vince Grice

So delete all and then choose which option, because they all still appear.

I tried and thought I'd see one of 18GB, but I still show 4 for 2GB and the last of 10GB.

Many thanks
 
Doesn't sound like you've deleted them. When given the option where to install, highlight one of the 2gb partitions and press the letter d to delete. You might have a couple other menus confirming you want to delete the partition. Repeat the steps until you have on 18gb partition. Then choose to install windows on it.
