help with deleting hard drive partition?

I've got an 80 gig western digital that came with a backup/recovery partition on it, now what I want to do is delete the partition so that I'll have a hdd with one partition equaling about 80 gigs, any help would be great, thanks and later.

ps the recovery/backup partition is fat32 and the other is ntfs.

Re: help with deleting hard drive partition?

are you trying to keep what's on the other partition, or can you wipe it and start over making one large partition? i'm assuming xp will be on it?

GPart 0.1h the Windows friendly Gnome Partition Editor, XP installer, fdisk on an older 98-ME boot floppy are all tools that can delete partitions off of a drive. GPart would be the one for removing hidden partitions since it is a Linux not MS partitioning utility, If you have a cd writer you can burn the iso image onto a cd-r after download from http://tucows.com/preview/8292
