Working with partitions...need help

[Questi4110]

These are my partitions so far on my 30 gig hd

win xp
games +mp3s
downloads
computer (apps)
windows 98

I went all out crazy when making partitions...i shouldn;t hae made five
I want to merge the computer, win xp, and games+mp3s together because win xp is running out of room (didn;t give it enough...just feel like merging instead)

Anyway...wont the files get screwd up due to new letter assignments and such...i heard that partition magic 7.0 (what i used to create these partitons) has a program called drive mapper on it that can help me out. Are there any faults/disadvantages to this program? How do i use it...and what does it exactly do.

Any suggestions or answers please



THANKS

Drive Mapper is not what you need, but the tool to move data in P/M 7.0 is Magic Mover. Once you have the data moved an properly registered, then use PM to dlete the empty partition (convert it to free space) and then move that into other partitions as you see fit.
