    How do you mean, as in you have two partitions and you want to go back to one? If so no need to re install windows :)

    Could you post an image of your disk management tab so I can have a gander and see if its just a simple delete the partition and extend job

    Whats in that 1GB partiton in the middle of the disk? if its nothing important you can just delete it, recover the space, then right click on the C drive and resize i think

    Does that translate to recovery partition? If so you can create a new part, DD the data into it and just expand the disk, this has how to do it :

    Those partitions are perfectly normal. The 100MB is your EFI partition, the 1.00GB is the recovery software partition. It looks like perhaps you cloned that drive from a 256GB one that you started with? That would explain the large empty space. You can use a partition tool to move the 1GB to the end of the drive then expand the C: partition to take the rest of the room. Your large drive (3TB) looks like it's in MBR mode for some reason. It should be in GPT so you can use partitions larger than 2TB.

    Are you talking about C and D or just C? 

    As billsey said you can either use a partition tool to try to move the recovery partition, or as I mentioned create a new one and move it manually to the end, you should then be able to expand the partition to fill the empty space (the expansion may need to be done from the recovery mode so it's not active at the time)

    If you wish just to re install, I would first create a recovery drive through windows , and include all drivers and system files. At hat point you should have a usb you can just boot from and install windows , blow away the disk and install everything

    The 4TB disk is broken down into several partitions because it's set as MBR instead of GPT. MBR doesn't allow partitions larger than 2TB, GPT allows full size partitions.
