Did xp have a option to stretch disks like 7?

I just saw in win7 disk management I can delete my old Ubuntu partition, format it, then stretch my c: drive so it's all one drive again.
That's really cool, did xp have this feature? If I recall correctly, in xp we had to use a 3rd party program to "stretch" the drive to merge unallocated space, and often times this would cause hdd failures.

XP had this feature, but not as part of the MMC Disk Management snap-in. the command-prompt DISKPART program was capable of extending basic disks in the same manner as Vista/7 allow from the GUI.
