The problem with that is that you will break many of your applications
because they are recorded in the registry (and other files) as being found
on "c:" , "d:" , "e:" or "f:" or whatever your partitions are named.

There are utilities that will help you make the changes properly or you
could go in regedit and find all occurrences of "d:", "e:" and "f:" and
make the changes directly.  Not for the faint of heart, but it can be done.

So use Partition Magic to coalesce the four small partitions into a
single one. No need to continue to suffer from Dell's bad decision.
