    I shrinked my hard to make another partition. Since then, I changed my mind, how do i reclaim the space to make just 1, is there an unshrink function?

    You can enlarge a partition, but only into free space. Thus, to create one larger partition again, you will have to back up whatever you want from one partition, then delete the partition. Then, you can expand your original partition to the full size and put the data back on that partition.
