so you have one drive with two partitions .... C and E drive? It's simple fix if you just want the E drive merged with C drive so computer reads it as a single drive so you get all the space under one drive letter. Ok, check out these two links (same results, but one is for windows xp, other is for windows vista and use whichever one matches the o.s. you got if it's windows)

While looking i saw that in a place to download they said to delete the logical drive. If i do that delete E from C will that work ?

If you delete it all your data will be gone.
