    Is it possible to delete the partitions and restore them to my main hard drive?

    Yep, you surely can. Both from within Windows and via a bootable CD\DVD running a utility such as GPartEd or one of many others.

    But your question is rather simplistic for a fairly serious operation. What partition, or partitions, are you specifically referring to? My main hard drive [Disk0] has four partitions one of which is c:. Windows [normally] won't allow you to remove the c: partition, but the other three are all fair game.

    If you're talking about booting GPartEd, Partition Magic or some such utility you can wipe them all out quite easily.

    Using either Windows or a bootable CD, or DVD, you can recreate partitions. But they'll be completely new partitions and contain non of the data that was there before you deleted the partition. I generally think of "restore" to mean a "put it back the way it was" sort of thing. A simple delete partition and create new one is not going to restore your data.

    But Windows 7 Backup and Restore function and programs like Acronis True Image will preserve that data for later re-imaging of a partition that will put data back.

    Oh they've been exceeding kind. :D

    Having worked in the corporate world for 32 years I've now regained my soul (which i sold to the corporations for monthly pay) and now I just do what I want to do whenever I want to do it. Legal of course .

    I worked in the commercial nuclear power industry. The corp was a very large southern (USA) electric utility. Before that I taught college level Chemistry, Physics and Biology. School systems are know to take your soul too.
