I have been through hell in the last couple
   of days. My Windows notebook computer has two 35 gig partitions
   and I would like to convert it to one 70 gig. I tried Symantec Norton
   Partition Magic but it could not recognize the hard disk for
   some strange reason. See the attached list of hardware.

   For awhile there it would not boot
   from the hard disk. I screwed around with it and screwed around
   with it real late last night  using the Part. Magic boot CD
   and I finally got it to boot up in Windows XP off the hard disk.
   Blake helped out a alot.

   It will not boot from a USB floppy either. The only kind
   of floppy you can get for it. The so called rescue disk don't work.

   I backed it up using a 350 gig USB NetDisk. Worked great.
   Back in the old days fdisk came with DOS and this was trivial.

   Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Almost all the linux distributions have
some kind of repartitioning software.
I also found fdisk for freedos.
