Delete partition ?

[bossa]

Hi All

Friend of mine has had someone create a partion on their XP hard drive . They want to get rid of it now. Been such a long time since I used windows can some one please advise.
The drive is about 40 gigs and there is a 600mb partition been made to hold a software program. The program (Virtual spine/anatomy) does not seem to want to work . I think it was created to be used with daemon tools or something ,so the original disc did not have to be loaded every time the software was used.My Chinese is nil so I cant really get an answer to why this is there.
Whats the safest way to delete this and can the resulting space be incorporated with the rest of the disc ?
Thanks
Steve

you could boot the ubuntu live-cd and use the partitioner (gparted) to delete the partition, and expand an other partition to take up the empty space, or you could download the 'gparted live-cd' from here:

best of luck

DOH!! Now why didn't I think of that?
Times like this I wish I had an external Hard drive to back up a drive.
