Running out of space on C:\ Drive

I have a friend who has a computer problem that I am trying to resolve for him. Now I know most would say go buy a new computer but at the moment that's not possible. Anyhow here is the problem. From what I can tell he might have 1 hard drive that was brokened down to 3 drives (I believe its called partitioned) and Windows 98 is constantly bugging him saying he doesn't have enough space and so I was wondering if there was a way to maybe fix this problem. Possibly make the 3 drives into 1 large drive. Thanks for the help.

I know there is a program called partition magic, it may be able to help you. I don't know anything about it though. Google it and see what it can do.

yes, partition magic is a good program....it should be able to merge the 3 partitions into one

here it is but its backordered http://www.saveateagle.com/powsofdrivco.html

what you do is install it on one comp (not necesarily that comp..but any comp) then you run the wizard to make the boot floppies....then you boot from the floppies to actually adjust the partitions etc
