Partion problem. Vista.

Hi Guys.

I had two partions on my PC. One was for XP which was 60GB's the other was for Vista which was 240GB's.

Windows XP was on the first partion and Vista on the second one.

So, I booted XP pro CD and formated the 60GBs. Restrted PC, no Vista doesnt boot, so I put vista cd in it fixes and boots.

I then went to disk managment to see if I could extend the 240GB by 60Gbs...

It won't allow me to do so because its a active system partion.,..

So, what do I do now to solve this?

Any help would be great
Thanks all!!

I don't think that you'll be able to extend the Vista partition anyway because you're trying to add space which is not contiguous with the end of the Vista partition.

So how do I get round this problem..How do I add the 60GB back?

GParted will be able to do that. Program is free but it does take a while. Well, it did for me.

Just make sure you backup your Vista partition in case it goes **** up.
