Have you tried software like PartitionMagic? I've found it very helpful. It will also move a program from one disk drive to another, updating all registry and shortcut links, which can be very useful when you have ill behaved software that insists on installing itself on your C drive.

>I have a hard drive formatted with Linux. How do I format this back to fat32? I used the windows FORMAT command and it created a small drive on the disk. When I go in and use FDISK, I can't delete the extended dos partition that is the old linux partition. It says that I can't delete a partition with logical drive, but when I try to display the logical drives (with fdisk) it says none exist. I tried going into the bios and did a "preformat" of the physical drive. Didn't help.
