2 partitions on single disk..

Installed a new 20Gig hard disk recently and have noticed that some how I partitioned it as two disks. 96Meg for disk 1 and the balance 19+Gig on disk 2 (which is the active partition). When I installed this disk (IBM 60GXP) I had used IBM's HD manager software to partition it and image copy another disk. How did this disk get to be two drives?
Anyways I wish to remove the 96Meg partition and move it into the 19+Gig partition to make it all one disk again. Is there a painless way of doing this? i.e. Partition Magic or others? I'm only using 6gig on the disk at this time.
 
Partition Magic will take care of it. Or you could just boot into dos with a startup floppy and run FDISK. If you choose the later, make sure you backup your important data first because you'll have to format your HDD before you can use it.
 
Partition Magic's the way to go here, assuming you don't want to lose all your data. If you don't mind reformatting, just use FDisk.
