Please help me, I want resize and merge HDD partitioning without data loss.
I formatted with NTFS HDD during windows XP installation, into 9 partitions.
OP: Windows XP sp2,
boot partition: C, 32 GB, 60% free
Other partitions: 70% free
HDD: 250 GB, SATA, 16MB buffer
 
Partition Magic, current version, available at most stores
that sell software.

Copy the folders or files over to the partition(s) where you want them.
Then use PartitionMagic to delete the unwanted partition(s) and resize the
others to occupy the now unused disk space. I've heard of the Ranish
Partition Manager (http://www.ranish.com/part/), which is free, but never
used it (I have PartitionMagic).

Safe and reliable means, IMHO, that you will do a full backup before messing
with any part's. I know that the older version of PM that I have will not
recover from power failures (and, I assume, other system crashes) during the
critical phase of part-mangling; I suspect that later versions of PM and
other similar apps have similar vulnerabilities.

9 partitions? What for? I guess now you see the value of partitioning.
