Re:You can delete all paritions on the USB drive and create 2 paritions on it using disk management.

Re:I moved all my stuff to the main drive in the pc.

Do I need a third party program to format this drive back to one partition – or can I do it with MS Disk Management?

Thanks for the replies.

Re:As Tweekah said – be sure.

If you are using the MS Disk Management, then if you delete your partitions, you will lose data.
If you can use a third party disk management software, like Acronis, then you should be able to merge partitions without losing data (but it is worth backing up anyway – just in case – nothing is 100% safe)

Re:You recognize which drive is the external 40gb?
Be aware, when you delete a partition, you'll lose all the information on that specific partition.

OK – I am there. The three partitions are healthy – but I have not figured out how to make the drive as one yet.

Instructions / ideas?
