What OS are you using?

The procedure is different depending on the OS. One rule, though, is that if you want to keep the data intact, you will have to use a third-party program like Partition Magic. Otherwise, you will have to erase the data to combine the partitions.

I have 98SE, and how would I combine them if I didn't want the data?

If you don't want to save anything, you can use fdisk and reformat the drive.

Yes, delete the logical drives first and then the extended DOS partition and then the primary DOS partition.
