Good way to remove a partition.

Hey, I've got my HD partitioned into two parts, the bulk of my HD being used for storage, as my friend suggested. I no longer want this partition. I've heard you can start an install of a certain linux OS to remove it, or buy some programs to do it. But what's the best way to get this done? Preferably the best, free way.

Whether they find a life there or not, I think Jupiter should be called an enemy planet.

    1) Back up
    2) Download Knoppix or System Rescue CD, and burn the ISO onto a disc.
    3) Reboot your comp with the disc in the drive, boot into Knoppix/SystemRescueCD, and fire up GParted.
    4) Fuck around with your partitions at will.
