Removing a partition and regaining disk space

Help!

Can I remove a partition of a dual boot situation of XP and 98SE? I would
like to remove 98SE (I love the OS, but I guess it is the time to move on . .
Vista is here). And regain back the diskspace?

Thanks

Sure, the Vista Disk Manager will let you do that. You can navigate
there from the Control Panel.

Sure, though I'm not sure why you are posting this to a Vista newsgroup when
the question is about an XP/98SE dual boot.

Just login to XP, and use disk manager in XP to remove the Win98SE
partition.
