Remove partition?

[Ed]

Hi All: Using winxppro sp2. I have a 30gb hd that is set up with 3 - 9gb
partitions c d e. c has main programs and operating system files, d has more
programs and e has data. c is 90%full, d is 20% full, e is 20% full. Would
like to remove a partition but retain data on d so it adds space to c. is
this possible? or something like it. I saw something called extend disk??
any help ou there?
thanks, ed

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:
