Unless you have a utility such as Partition Magic (I believe that is what it is called.), you
must also FDISK and delete the C partition, then FDISK to allow the entire contents of the
drive to be used as one partition.  Needless to say, unless you don't need the contents of your
current C: partition, you should have a full backup handy.

There may be alternatives within the world of NT/XP that I have not yet learned, however.
