if you're planning to reinstall Windows anyways, use DOS's FDISK command
(and say YES to the 'enable large drives' question). this is assuming
Win95/98/ME; have it boot to DOS first. in FDISK, delete drives C, D, and
E, and create a new primary drive that uses all the space on the disk.
then reboot (you'll need a boot floppy or bootable CD to start the windows
install).

if you want to keep your data, you need PartitionMagic or similar
software. PM will let you "grow" the C drive to fill the disk *after*
you've deleted the D and E drives.

and you probably mean a "6 Gb" drive; there ain't a drive in the world
that's 6 GHz. :)

luck,
