How do I combine partitions?

I upgraded from win98se to XP. I have two hard drives -
the master had four partions c,d,e, and f. The second
hard drive had one partition - g.

During set-up, I deleted partitions d,e, and f and
installed XP in C. These old partions now show as
unallocated space. How can I expand c to take advantage
of the unallocated space? In other words, I want all of
the disk space on the master HD as drive c. After the
upgrade, the second hard drive is correctly shown as a
logical drive d.

Thanks...

For merging two partitions or one partition and an unallocated space into a bigger partition, you should choose a 3rd part software cause the built in disk management does a mess, i recommend u to use http://www.disk-partition.com/download.html this partition assistant, very useful and simple

Fortunately Joe lives in a time warp (2002). When he comes
out of it he will discover that all drives including SSD are so cheap
he can shuffle hower he pleases.

I personally use GParted. It can be downloaded free.
It has a Linux feel to it but runs via a Live CD, so it doesn't need to be installed on your PC as
such.
Very useful once you get used the interface.
