Hard Drive Merged Partition Problem... Please HELP

A long time ago (about 2 years) I partitioned my hard drive into 4 sections (C,D,E,F). Now that I dont need the extra partitions I tried to merge the C drive and the D drive with partition magic 8 and now everytime I start up my system I get a blue screen that basically says windows had to shut down in order to prevent damage to the hard drive and I cant figure out a way around it. I have no idea how to fix this at all so if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. By the way, my computer is a Dell Dimension 4550 and Im using Windows XP Home. Any help would be great. Thank you in advance.
 
Would trying to start windows in safe mode be of any help in trying to fix this? If so, how would I enter safe mode for a dell dimension 4550?
