You can go to Microsoft and search for diskpart.exe, download and run it. This is a command line program that has to be run from the cmd command in the run box. With this program, you can delete hidden partitions as well as any partition. Within the program is a help file to show the commands that you should use to remove the hidden partitions. You must know the partition numbers, (1,3,4, etc) before you start or you may delete the partition with the OS installed. After you delete the hidden partitions, you can then go into the Control Panel, Admistative Tools, Computer Management, Storage, and merge the partitions into one. I have done this several times and it worked without any issues at all. You then have the entire capacity of the hard drive on a single partition. Hope this helps.
i thought i had uninstalled this useless aplication but as it turned out, i haven't. i did it the noob way, through the control panel. while the computer is on, the media direct button does nothing, and the program doesn't appear anymore on the list of programs to uninstall. but when it's turned off, if i press the md button, there it is... how do i get those 2gb back?
how do i completely uninstall media direct and get that partition back?
