I am now going to delete the two small Dell partitions, I needed create and merge the space into the main partition. Then the drivers and Windows updates need to be reinstalled.

Dave,

Many, many people feel that there are things that cannot be done. Time to throw it away and buy new they say or are told at the big box stores. Sorry to tell them that there are people like us who just love to correct that concept. When I see a sticker that says "do not open, no user servicable parts inside" I head for the workshop and a screw stick.

Sorry but these things were designed, engineered and built by people and by God they can be fixed by people. Fiddling with computers and machines is ok but when a challenge pops up, thats whats fun for me. Do not tell me that something cannot be done because 90% of the time I will find a way to make it work.

Glad to see you got it up and working!

Joe
