[X4U] Help with un-partitioning a hard drive

[Jens Selvig]

Repartitioning means you loose all of the data on all of the partitions.

You don't say how you are backing up your data, if you are just  
mirroring your work data then you still have the original data set.  
If you are a gambler you could repartition your Lacie drive and then  
re-back up at that point. (Remember though, that you loose everything  
on all three partitions of the Lacie drive)

Hard drives are so cheap these days, I'd just get another drive to  
use for backups.
