I am running XP Pro and my hard drive contains 3 equal
partitions of 2G. Problem is, the boot drive is almost
full. How do I collapse one of the partitions and add
space to the C: Drive?

Thanks

First, if your computer originally shipped with a 6 gig hard drive, your
system may not be up to the task of running XP. XP really needs much more
space than the minimum stated in the requirements if you intend to install
any other software and use features like system restore.
To make the hard drive one partition without losing your data, you will need
third party partitioning software like Partition Magic, BootIt NG, etc..
