Maybe Bob doesn't need all that third-party partition managers can do
(I actually didn't go back and read all the posts), but I've seen
countless posts in these groups about being unable to shrink a
partition beyond a particular point due to the presence of an
"unmovable" file, and that to accomplish that task a third-party
product is required.

Hi guys, I think that I mentioned a few days ago that I am currently unable
to OPEN the system so I am going to put this on hold for a few weeks and
wanted to advise y'all that I WAS able to reformat and merge the 125Mb "Old C
Drive" and now have a completely FREE 500GB HDD now how I was able to do this
is another question.
I went to Disk Manager and clicked on the "D" Drive (i.e. Old C Drive) as I
had done dozens of times before but this time when I selected Format, it
executed. The only thing that I can think of is that the changes that I made
to BIOS must have taken place although the Disk identifications didn't not
appear that they did but the bottom line is that my HDD are now set the way
that I want to be and would like to thank EVERYONE for ALL your help.
Bob
