Formating hard drives

I dont see a 'hardware' forum' so I thought i would post this here.

I installed some additional drives into my new PC, and after saving as much data as I could, formated them.

Two drives (I) and (k) are actually one drive with 2 partitions. The second partition was a backup of windows XP. When formating (I) I hoped K would be deleted, but it was not.

I formated by right clicking and selecting format.

is there a way to remove the partition and make what is being recognized by vista as 2 drives back into one single drive?

thanks

Use Disk Management to first delete the K partition. Then you can add it to I.

how do you access disk management in vista?

i found it, nevermind
