use Apple Disk Utility (in ../Applications/Utilities)

you'll be able to erase the partition you want...

i wasn't sure about that. do you mean that if you use the "delete" button while selecting a particular volume that the contents of the partition/volume will be erase but the partition will remain in tact?
