[Novalug] deleting unallocated partition

[Mark Gatanas]

My father has a Windows XP Home Edition computer with a drive divided into 3
partitions:
 
Partition 1     35 MB, FAT                    Want to keep.
Partition 2    19 GB, NTFS, C: drive      Want to keep.
Partition 3    19 GB, unallocated          Want to remove so the C: drive
can be 38 GB
 
Have already used the both the My Computer, Disk Management as well as the
"diskpart" command from the command prompt to try to delete Partition 3
 
Any suggestions, as he only has 1% drive space left on his C: drive. I had
heard of trying to use the "chkdsk /F" command from the command prompt. Will
this get rid of the unwanted Partition 3?
 
Thanks,
 
Mark
