Split hard drive

[nicbyrne]

I need some help with a laptop. After a recent re-installation and virus clean, the French computer guy for some unknown reason divided the the hard drive into two parts and saved all old documents in a new E drive. All new documents can be saved in "My Documents" and backed up onto an external hard drive. We need help to take the hard drive back to its original state asap and we live near Vinca.

Please send me a PM if you are able to help

Many thanks

Which operating system are you running?

Back up ALL the files, from both drives before you do anything.

Hi Allan

Operating system is Windows 7 running Office 2003. On the re install the guy replaced Office 2007 with 2003, which Microsoft stopped supporting in April 2014.

He probably put Office 2003 on because he didn't have an activation key for 2007 either way, almost certainly you are using software registered to somebody else or a pirated copy. It is however unlikely that anyone will take action against you.

In Windows 7 you can extend your system partition, this link explains how

If you have enough space on your drive C then copy the documents from E drive into My documents on drive C.

As a precaution back everything up before changing your partitions.

If you have your original Office 2007 disks and activation key then you could re-install it.

Out of interest, what is the urgent need to put it back in its original form?
