Merge partitions in xp

• As a classical operating system released by Microsoft in 2001, Windows XP has received great popularity throughout the world and Microsoft is still perfecting Windows XP though many new operating systems have been issued in succession. Nevertheless, Windows XP still bears some defects, for example, the Windows XP build-in disk management tool merely offers some simple functions like create partition, delete partition and format partition. Though these operations are frequently performed during our course of using computer, user wants more functions such as resize partition, merge partition, convert file system, convert disk type, etc. To realize above operations, user needs a third-party partition manager that covers both the simple operations offered by Windows XP build-in disk management tool and operations desired by computer user including increase partition, extend partition, wipe partition, resize partition, merge partition, create partition, delete partition, format partition, convert partition format, copy partition, hide partition, explore partition, change drive letter, etc. speaking of such partition manager, I would like recommending MiniTool Partition Wizard.
