    So is it possible to remove a partition from Windows XP? I've "inherited" a laptop that someone has partitioned and it's annoying the hell out of me because I haven't got the space on either half of the partition to install a game, but I have the space on the hard drive as a whole.

    Yep, PM for instance does that. But do a backup before, as other people already recommended.

    You can download a gparted ISO image and boot from CD. That's what I did.
