Merge partitions in Partition magic is a dangerous procedure. It can and has
deleted all the programs and data in the partition being merged. You would
do better to either clean out the partition you are going to merge or move
the programs you have in the C: drive and using a 3rd party program like
partition magic to make the logical drive bigger.
You don't mention how big your hard drive is but you should consider looking
at your paging file and controlling that somewhat or moving data to a "Data"
drive. That way your data is somewhat protected. There are several ways to
deal with this situation. Go slow and try to make the drive bigger first.
Good luck.
