ok. this is the prob:

i'd partitioned the hard disk into 2. but my fault to partitioned the system hard disk only to 10gb. now, every time i want to install software or games, it keeps giving me low disk space alert .

,y question is, how i want to combine it back together. i mean i want to put the 2 splitted partrition into 1 partrition back. can i? any suggestion.

Of course you can combine back but what is the initial/original size?
This HDD is for laptop or desktop?

I suppose the 10GB partition is where you install your Windows. Why not install the softwares/games to the 30GB partition?
I think partition software like partition magic might be what you want but I don't have any personal experience on those.

You can still get shortcut in start menu folder if you install in other partition. Make one yourself manually if the software/game doesn't automatically do it.
