Thanks.Yes and no. If you are combine the partitions when they are empty then yes. But if you have data on them it is much trickier. As that data has to be moved from the one partition to the other. Which is not easily done. GParted can do this as well.
Having trouble downloading Gparted though, i got on the site, clicked on downloads and its so confusing, i managed to download something which was a .Tar file? i cant open that.
