You would have to change the partition information (very carefully) with FDISK or Disk Manager if its a Seagate and uses DMDRV.BIN. I may have missed something as to why one would want to forget about the second partition/virtual drive. It doesn't really matter. On my own computer, I have four floppies, and the last two, added as devices are E: and F: after a 40Mb drive that thinks it is C: AND D:. ALso recently I installed a second hard drive on a friend's computer. She now has two drives, but two virtual drives each, so C: D: E: and F:.
