When you working on partitions, there always are chance it will mess up your data, if you don't want to backup, don't do it.

This. There is no way to guarantee that merging your partitions will not have any ill effect. Your best bet is to backup the data so that you can merge the partitions and in the event of data loss you are not screwed.

It is not hard or expensive. Go buy a 2TB external drive and backup all the data to it then start merging the partitions. I would start by merging the two smallest ones then the large one and the resulting one from the two smaller ones.

Since no one has given you any useful answers I'll give it a shot. I've done the partition thing many times and have lots of experience.

First thing you should do is DEFRAG all four partitions to bring the data closer to one another... Next, move the data from the D and E onto F since that's the largest paritition... after you do that... you can delete those two paritions. After than... just EXPAND that last partition so that you'll have two...

I do recommend having multiple physical drives instead of creating partitions.. but if you must... try not to have more than two partitions on a single drive...

You are basically stating that giving advice to make a backup before trying to merge the partitions to avoid potential data loss is useless?

Not sure how when if it were me I would rather have that knowledge that that data is safe in case the merging of the partitions fails, which I have seen happen and if you have "lots of experience" you should have seen it happen as well.

If you look, it already on the same drive D. Look like it a dynamic disks on the same physical disk, why? who know.

Mate Thanks For Reply Anw , I Have 2 Drives Only C: And D: But In Disk Management It Shows 3 D: Drives With 1 Name , And Since I Don't Have Any Backup USB Or External Harddrive I Can't Move Files Anywhere Unless I Have Backup HDD , The Reason I Am Doing Is That i Want To Install HP UEFI Diagnostic But I Get Error Installing It "Main Drive Already Have Four Partition , Additional Partition Cannot Be Created " - Anyway Thanks For Your Info
