Hello FacePunch, I just recently purchased a ASUS computer. But it came with 2 partions C:/ 75 GB D:/ 275 GB The C:/ Has all the windows files. THe D:/ has nothing on it. I want to transfer all the storage to D;/ to C;/ without losing any data on C:/ I know you can do this, but you lose the C:/ drive. Anyone know how to do this? Thank you.

Copy + Paste ? You don't lose anything in that you just copy the files you want. But if you want to clone of C: partition to D: Partition you could use software like [url=http://clonezilla.org/]Clonezilla[/url].

You can try using Minitool's Partition Wizard, it should be able to do that. I think you have to move the pagefile off the drive before you can do that though, and there is some risk of it failing and you losing data, but if you do it right, the risk is minimal.
Windows can natively delete and expand ntfs partitions through disk manager; there is no need for third party partitioners.
Yes, that is true. Only he wants to modify the boot partition that Windows is currently residing on, which Windows [U]can't[/U] do. You need a 3rd party program to do that.
Keep it as two separate drives. Install all your games and stuff to D:\ and keep your C:\ drive free of important stuff (documents and stuff) in the event it fails or something. That way you can just get a new drive and reinstall windows without losing anything. Personal experience here. :( Oh wait, I just realized that it's one drive that's partitioned..ignore this :S

All he has to do is delete the partitioned D: drive, then extend the C: used for data storage.

There are no hidden partitions that house the entirety of Windows (only the bootloader). You have no idea what you're talking about.
