Administrative tools > Computer Management > Storage > Disk Management
If it doesn't
Backup your data in case it turns pearshaped, run the xp cd from boot pretend your going to do an installation, when it gets to the part where you select a partition to install to, delete the offending partition, then create a new one and exit the setup

430653 2006-02-15 21:39:00 have you got data on the partition you want to remove? if so MOVE it to the other partition first.

why do you need to change the partitions?
