  1. Macrium Reflect – how to reverse its partitioning?


    I have two identical USB drives: WD-Elements-(A) & WD-Elements-(B) each having a nominal capacity of 2 TB. Some time ago, whilst experimenting with the free Macrium Reflect, I created an image of my PC onto WD-Elements-(B) leaving me with just 359 GB of accessible data space on that drive.
    How do I now reverse that partitioning so that I can use the whole of the disk space for data? Only the 359GB partition is accessed when I attempt to format the volume.
    The partitions on the two drives are shown as:

    You need to delete the last two partitions one is a logical one then you can grow the other partition

    If (B) is the upper of the 2 disks displayed, I suspect you made a clone rather than an image. If you mean you just want to clear out that drive to use it all (creating a single volume on it) then yeah, MiniTool that fireberd referred you too will make short work of that.

    Is it something other than what I described that you want to do? Did I misunderstand and you are booting from and using the upper disk as your system disk? I see a 359 GB used on that disk but no 359 GB remaining of any status anywhere.

  7. Many thanks to fireberd, Samurai and Word Man for your responses. Mini Tool Partition Wizard did the job, and I have now merged the partitions.
    Quite right, it was a clone that I had created earlier, not an image. I had forgotten the type of experiment that I had been doing many months ago.
