I have two partitions on my hdd one says 20 gb and the other says 8 gb and I have a 30GB HDD. Is there anyway I can combine these two partitions to make a full 30gb?

use partition magic, it can merge both partition.

Confirmed. Partition Magic is a no risk solution.

keep in mind the fact that there is no way you will see exactly 30gb, it will be around 30 (i.e. 28gb or 31gb)
PM is good for partition playaround, true.

acronis is another program or partition commander.

That may be a recovery or other critical partition.
Don't delete it until you know what it is.
