I have a question about an external hard drive. I'm trying to figure out how to eliminate a partition from it (I used to use it to install old Mac OS X software but I don't need it anymore). Could anyone help me out?

Thanks
 
Disk Utility will let you reformat the drive using 1 partition. Is there something more I missed?

How many partitions are on there now? It sounds like you have two and want to remove one and expand the remaining one into the empty space maybe?

Look at this.
