I am running WinMe (Upgrade) with 3 partitions 2 Gig each.
How can I convert 3 partitions (2GIG each) into 1
partition (6 GIG) without loosing data. It seems I can
use a Tool provided with WinMe. If yes, could anyone tell
me where can I find that tool ?

ME questions should be asked in an ME newsgroup.

Third party utilities such as Partition Magic (Powerquest), BootitNG or
Partition Resizer can do this type of conversion without affecting your
data. Note that existing references to D and E (such as in shortcuts) are
not adjusted - you have to find and fix each one.

PM includes DriveMapper that can take care of those references.
