I recently formatted and re-installed XP home on my alienware notebook area
51.
Somehow it the process I inadvertenly added an extra partition with a
different drive letter than C.
Its only about 8 megabytes and I dont know I managed to do it but how can I
re-allocate that space back to the C drive partition and remove the extra
drive letter?

For something as critical as this, I'd stick with Partition Magic or
Acronis Disk Director. About $20 from E-Bay.

Ok, I know the 8 megs on that extra partition is not a big deal but it
bothers me that its there.

thanks, yeah Partition magic would be a good utility to have on hand instead
of trying to scare myself to death with F disk.
