Depends whether it is the Primary & Active partition - i.e your C: drive.
If it is your C: drive then you can't - you have to boot off a Bootable Floppy and use FDISK, this destorys all partitions on a disk.
If it is your D: drive (or similar) you can delete the partition very easily if using Win2K or XP by going to Control Panel, Admin Tools, Computer Management, Disk Administrator.
Remember deleting a partition will delete all the data too - obvious really - but just making sure...
If you are using Win9x partition magic is the best way to go.
Hope this helps...

YES the Disk Management is the one (sorry I was lapsing into NT4 mode...)
Hmmm.... You can delete which ever drive you want F: or G: as they are not the Active partition.
As to which partition to delete I dont know what you want to achieve or know what is on your F: & G: partitions so cannot advise you of this.. sorry.
You can see in Disk Management all of your Physical Hard Drives ( i.e drive 0, 1 etc) AND all of the partitons on the physical disks.
Right Click on the partition you want to delete and select Delete.
**MAKE SURE YOU REALLY WANT TO DO THIS!!**
No I am not a CAD man - but I am a PC Support engineer....
