    This is my Hard Drive - http://i49.tinypic.com/25au89h.png

    Basically, there is 10GB of unallocated space that used to be Recovery - however I got rid of the Recovery and now it is just unallocated. How to I merge this space with the Active, Primary Partition part?

    Also as a side question, shall I just leave the two partitions on the end as it is? Is it really worth getting rid of them or are they there for a reason?

    Thank you very much.

    Edit: I had a look and this guy has the exact same problem as me, however he solved it in the end and didn't share how he did it nor can I contact him.

    Use a Ubuntu boot disk and use the disk tools provided there.

    Good luck.

    Problem Solved! I used "EASEUS Partition Master"

    This is by far the best programme when it comes to partitions, so easy to use (although I haven't used any others lol)
