Do I have to get some sort of boot disk that will allow me to run a dos prompt, (i.e. win98 boot disc, etc) or can I do it within XP or what?

My system:

Celeron 400 w/ 256 MB Ram

3-Gig (WinXP Pro OS installed)
10-Gig (Seagate - ~5 partitions)********
20-Gig (Seagate - 1 partition)

what do I do? (i know that WinXP doesn't use an actual dos, all it has it the dos shell)

---edit---

My system already has winxp installed onthe 3 gig, and I want to get rid of all the partitions on the 10-gig, so that they aren't put in 3 and 1 gig portions.... it's really annoying...

I want to make it so that I have 1-3 gig, 1-10 gig, and 1-20 gig hard drive, with only 1 partition each... at max size.... can I do that within windows on XP? If so, how?
 
Your not very clear at what you mean. If your in windows, type cmd at the run prompt. If you need to be able to boot to a DOS prompt, install the recovery console. Maybe if you change your sig, I could help more!
 
Boot of the WinXP cd...will let you delete, create, and format multiple partitions with fat32 or ntfs.

The above would apply for a fresh install....to change an existing partition, you need something along the lines of Partition Magic.
