new laptop, how do i sort out partitions?

[Magic_x_uk]

Hi just got a new packard bell easynote laptop just for browsing net whilst downstairs etc. seems ok for the money, nice spec

anyhow, new to laptops.....


slowly trying to get the rubbish that is put on it, off of it.

I would do a reformat as I have a Win 7 disc for my desktop pc and use the product key on the bottom of the laptop, but i have only ever done that on desktops before so no idea about drivers etc.


One thing I dont like and certainly am not used to is the laptop has a 250GB HD.

but split into 2

1 is C: 'packard bell' 110gb and all data is on that

the other is

D: 'data' 110gb which is empty


any way of getting rid of (D) and sticking it all on (C) ?


thanks.

Did come with Adobe photoshop elements, that seems a good program.

There's no benefit in getting rid of it, but it is handy for putting important files onto and if you ever need to reinstall windows you can just restore the OS and your data is left intact.
