Combining partitions in WinXP?

[GaryB]

I have an 80G hard drive that I originally partitioned into three 25G partitions. My C drive is now so full that I cannot defrag properly, and that drive is pretty seriously fragmented. I have used only about half of the D drive, but I have installed many of my programs on that drive.

Is there a way I can remove the partition between C and D and combine them into one drive?

Thanks for any help.

Only a 3rd party utility can do this without losing all data on the drives. As always, perform a backup before attempting this. I recommend Partition Magic.

Yup. Partition Magic is your boy.
