When I bought the PC the hard drive was partitioned into smaller chunks for Dad, Mum, Kids. It means that the C Drive is very full now and there is loads of room on Mum & Dads partition. This is very rectrictive for adding new programms cos all the files are in the C Drive. We just want to remove the partitioning permanently. Any help much appreciated.

Partition Magic will allow you to do this as will a number of Linux utiites, However there is always a chance that you will damage the partition table sufficently to require a full format. Since it appears you are not the original owner, why not just repartition/format and re install the OS?? Other than you do not have the OS disk?? ;) Which will lead you into trouble someday anyway.
