I have a server running Netware 4.11. There is a large partition on one of the drives that is no longer being used. I have a product from Power Quest called Server Magic 3.0 but I've never used it before myself. I what I need to do is delete the partition that is not being used and use the resulting free space to the remaining partitions. What is the safest way to accomplish this?

Netware allows only one Netware partition on a physical disk. So, if the partition you want to re-use is on the same drive as an existing NW partition, then a product like Server Magic or Resizer for CDP is probably the fastest method. Otherwise, it's a backup/delete partitions/ re-create partitions/ cross fingers/ restore operation.

If the partition in question is a netware partition, I believe that NW4.11 will allow you to add space from that partition to an existing volume (assuming that there aren't any volumes already on that partition). Back up your data first, of course.
