Ok, you owe me. I neglected my wife, my children, and worst of all I used my wifes work XP laptop to find this (I feel soooo dirty now using XP)

The tool that jusmee is talking about can be found in Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management. Alternatively right click on My Computer and select Manage. You will see Disk Management under the Storage section on the left. This should allow you to delete and recreate partitions.

Additional, jusmee suggested that gparted may do what you need. There doesn't seem to be a Mac version, but if you run an Intel Mac (non-ppc processor) you can download the LiveCD of gparted and try that (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php).

Best of luck with it, keep us upto date.
