On the other hand - why not just leave the partitions as seperate - that way should you ever decide to dual boot things again you won't have to go through the pain of re- partitioning again.
well, as a matter of fact, that is what i am trying to do. i originally tried to install Suse, but it said that it couldnt shirnk my windows partition, so i decided to use mandrake, see how i liked it, them if i didnt, uninstall it and put ssuse. problem is, now suse doesnt recognize a windows parttions, so i cant boot in to it. suse only recognized windows if it was the only partition on the HDD. so basically, could i keep the second partition and have suse recognize windows? that would be an ideal case, but i figured that wasnt going to happen, so i thought i would have to make it all one partition again.
