Hi, I have three drives C drive on one disk and D and E drive on the second hard disk on the c drive I have used norton ghost to backup drive E which I want to keep and I would like to make drive D and E into one drive how can I do this? Thank you.
 
Greetings --

1) Right-click My Computer > Manage > Disk Management. Delete the
two partitions on the secondary drive and create/format a single large
partition in their place. This method is, obviously,
data-destructive, so backup any crucial data before starting.

2) Download or purchase a 3rd-party partition management utility that
has the capability to merge partitions non-destructively. Candidates
include, but are not limited to, BootItNG, Partition-It, or Partition
Magic.

Thanks Bruce, one more thing I guess I would need to perform that delete both drives from the C drive which is on the second hard drive outside of the drives I am about to delete? Are there details or prompt in that disk management tool to get me through the process? Thanks.

I started that process but I did not see the option to create/format a single large partition

If you've already deleted the two partitions, simply right-click
on the unallocated space and select "Create..."
