I assume you have a 2Gb NTFS partition on the rest of the drive (or another partition anyway. The only tool that I know of which will expand partitions is Partition Magic (available from all good software dealers). Whether it will merge two partitions is another matter. If you wanted to convert the 2Gb FAT partition to NTFS and then expand it to 4Gb's you could probably do it with Partition Magic providing you deleted the other 2Gb partition (if it exists). It's 43ukp + VAT and carriage from Software Warehouse. I've forgotten who makes it but if you do a Yahoo Search for Partition Magic you may find the developers web site to obtain more information from. -- David Thornton
