Still have 3 partitions showing for the drive. 2 labeled 'RAW,' and one (the just deleted drive) labeled 'Free Space.' Now, what is step 2?
From: Mark L. Ferguson on 30 May 2008 14:55 You can delete one Raw drive and expand one to take all of the free space. -- click the Ratings button.

You need to adequately explain what is your goal. If there is nothing of value on the USB HD and you want one partition - simply reformat.
