1. Do you have any thing importent installed on any of them or and files that you want?

i run on microsoft xp professional. its installed onto drive c
see my drive c = 6.83 GB
drive E= 48.8 Gb
drive f=56.1 GB
drive f can stay partioned, all i want to do is merge drive c and e together so i can have more space to add install more rpograms, cause when i try it will say not enough dick space.
any ways, no i dont have important stuff installed on c{ thats the default hard drive}
all i have is xp,norton,zone alarm nero, and thats about it. and a couple other lil programs but i can re- install them
and on drive e all i got is all my movies,music, stuff like that, but i can burn them to disc's.
cause i read that u gotta format one of the drives that u want to merge it with

You could try partition magic to merge them or you can use the XP install CD to delete the 2 partitions you want to merge and recreate them as 1 then reinstall XP. Deleting a partition will cause all data on it to be deleted as well so backup anything you need (you should do this anyway, partition magic doesn't always work).
