Since it's mounted already, take a peek in 'D' and see if you see any files. If no, you're pretty safe in assuming it can be deleted (be sure it's not got any 'hidden' or 'system' files other than perhaps desktop.ini) Partition Magic is the way to go for repartitioning W2k & will have no problem deleting the runt partition and resizing your main one to span the whole disk. Good luck w/the recovery.
