I have an older PC with 2 partitions, a 16 G C drive containing the OS, XP,
and a 60 G D drive. The manufacturer shipped it that way, and the C drive has
been running out of space. I haven't been able to remove the partition

Seeing that your current 16 GByte disk is flawed and also quite small, you should make the 60 GByte disk the primary master disk and install/clone Windows XP on to it. When finished you can format the 16 GByte disk and use it as a spare data disk. It will have to be set up as a slave disk or as a disk connected to the secondary IDE controller.

I think the OP meant these are two partitions on a single disk so this is not a viable option.
