erasing hard drive partitions

Hello all. Ive got an external drive with two partitions, and i want to delete the partitions and just have one full 250 drive. Anyone know how to get rid of the partitions? Do I need certain software? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks! :)

You could try Paragon Hard Drive Manager which is still available free here (this will certainly do it):

If the partitions are empty... Start Menu => Run => diskmgmt.msc should be enough. ;)

gpart is better and easier.

I second that for gpart, very easy to use.

You can even expand the main C: partitions to take over the to other deleted partitions.
