Are you using this as a second hard drive for additional space
Or are you actually installing an operating system and this will be you primary drive?

What operating system are you running?
Do you need to keep anything important on this drive? Or can you wipe it totally clean

First of all, this is impossible and funny.   /laugh.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':lol:\' />
Partitioning is done because we wanna separate them.  Lets not even talk about
if they are both running different file systems  i.e  NTFS and Win32 or win 16  (old school)
