Connecting same hard drive partitions

I somehow formatted only 6GB of my 20GB hard drive when I
loaded XP Professional. How do I link the 14GB of free
space with the 6GB that make up the c drive now?

The only way you can create, delete, resize or merge existing partitions,
and not harm your existing Windows installation, is to purchase and use
a third-party partitioning program such as Partition Magic 8.

The alternative is to perform a "clean install" of Windows XP:
