You should be able to condense the partitions from the Administrative Tools.
Start> Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Computer Management> Storage> Disk Management
Big time warning. Changing your Partition is DESTRUCTIVE! Backup everything no matter what technique you use. Delete the bad partition and then expand the other partitions.

Delete 2 of ur partition And make it one and leave the third one as it is.... U can do it manually by fdisk command by booting through win 98 cd... or if u use a partition magic then u will have to recreate each and every partition and format it. U can also use disk manager like DM 9.5 or DM 10.

Use PartitionMagic 7.0. No matter what other says nothing bad will happen. I have done it a hundred of times. It is very user friendly. U can change the size, create or delete your partition on a window environment. If u doesn't rush on ur mouse clickings then there is 0% chances or losing datas. Inernet download of Partition Magic 7.0 for xP are all demo versions. U will have to buy the software (....if u believe in piracy then that is a different matter). How u get PartitionMagic 7.0 is ur headache...........

Tack backup (of “D Drive” All files& folders) in "C Drive". & go to disk Management Start> Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Computer Management>
Or my computer -> Right click->manage-> Computer Management (local) > disk Management->
& delete “2nd & 3rd” partition & make new partition
Is easy process.
Or u can use Partition magic

Try using Partion Magic (PM).
Make sure th 3rd partition is empty. Through PM, delete 3rd drive. Then format it to FAT 32 or NTSC. Then re-acquire the newly formatted partition to merge with the second partition, Reboot, and you're done

^^ true in some ways.... partition magic and those programs require a fresh HD with no partitions, etc... what you can do...
if you have xp pro or higher you can go into disk management and convert your basic disk to a dynamic disk.. This allows you to merge volumes + partitions..
TO ALL YOU OTHER PEOPLE, IF YOU DONT KNOW WTF YOUR TALKING ABOUT STFU. you idiots are telling him to wipe off everything he has on the drive, your doing nothing but fking up his data..

You wont be able to do so without harming your operating system.
You have to again install everything in order to cancel one of your partition.
