Format the drive as one drive... 

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

That works too. Though if its the same HDD, running RAID 0 on a single drive won't do much.

Read the post wrong. OP use GParted to delete the second partition then expand it.

If it's one physical drive, copy everything over to C:\, delete the D:\ partition and expand the C:\

If it's two physical drives, setup JBOD.

Use diskpart to delete the second partition:

Raid 0.

 

Lol is this trolling?

 

No you make a partition like you simply go to  Disk Management and mess arround i'm not sure i'll post something... 

You can COMBINE easily in Disk Management with some looking and tweaking.

Its one physical drive split into 1tb for each drive

configure RAID 0 in BIOS

You really need to read the OP... He's using one physical HDD - even if you could RAID0 the two partitions... that... that would not be a good idea.

 

@IsaacDaGrazin

First, (if you don't already have it installed), install GParted:

http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/09/install-upgrade-gparted-0-16-2-in-ubuntu-13-04-12-04/

 

Then, delete the 2nd partition:

http://gparted.org/display-doc.php%3Fname%3Dhelp-manual#gparted-delete-partition

 

Then expand the first partition with the empty space you just created:

http://gparted.org/display-doc.php%3Fname%3Dhelp-manual#gparted-resize-partition

 

Any questions, feel free to post below. FYI, I'm not a Linux expert though.

Would GParted work with 14.04?

Yes, I have no reason to suspect otherwise. The specific versions of ubuntu listed in any of those links shouldn't matter.

Hi,

 

I use Ubuntu Linux 14.04 lts, also. If I understand correctly you have a single drive, that has been split into two logical drives.

 

Back up whatever you need from both partitions, don't forget websites and other control information (like for email servers).

 

Then download the latest version of Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTS and install. Tell it to make the drive as ONE partition, during the install question and answer period.

 

Once you have done the O S install, and the installs of the applications you normally use, and done all the update cycles, then put onto the drive the files you backed up.

 

Sounds tedious, but that is the good news. Nothing too complicated, just time and process.

 

Unlike Windows, the Ubuntu install from 'scratch' takes only a couple of hours, including all the updates.

 

Good luck
