You can use a program such as Partition Magic to delete or create partitions on a hard drive....don't know why you would want to get rid of a perfectly good partition (as long as it is operation fine) but to each his own....but one hint....even those these programs such as Partition Magic are made to do what we are talking about here it is always a good idea to back up any information of both of your partitions just to be on the safe side...

Sorry for the long sentence.
