Help deleting a partition (OS X 10.5.6)

I had Ubuntu 8 in its own partition and decided to drop it and run 9 as a virtual machine. Rebooted my MBP with the install disk, got rid of the main Ubuntu partition but for some reason I can't delete the swap partition. Here's the info if it matters:
Name : Linux Swap
Type : Volume
Disk Identifier : disk0s3
Mount Point : Not mounted
Connection Bus : Serial ATA 2
Device Tree : /PCI0/SATA@1F,2/PRT0@0/PMP@0/@0:3
Writable : Yes
Capacity : 572.2 MB (600,000,512 Bytes)
Owners Enabled : No
Can Turn Owners Off : No
Can Be Formatted : No
Bootable : No
Supports Journaling : No
Journaled : No
Disk Number : 0
Partition Number : 3
Is there any other way to get rid of it short of complete wipe and re-install of the system?

I've got a spare copy of Portal, if anyone wants it message me.
Boot from it and remove the swap partition. It is the confirmed solution from here.
GParted worked like a charm.
