Grab something like partition magic and resize your primary partition (otherwise you will lose your data on both of those two partitions).

You can try Partition Magic (http://www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic/). According to the description this program allows you to copy, move, resize, split, or merge partitions without losing data.

Heehee beat you to it I think you can grab a demo from http://www.softpedia.com/public/cat/13/8/13-8-2.shtml

Yeah, you were faster than me with 3 minutes...

In fact my delay in posting was due to my doubts regarding Symantec. When looking up the link I noticed that Symantec purchased Powerquest. And I don’t trust any Symantec product.
But since Partition Magic was developed by Powerquest, I think that this program worth a try...

LOL yeah, Powerquest did make the program initially, actually prompting an opposite initial reaction from me (I'm not fan given my not-so-ideal experiences with DiskImage). But realistically, Partition Magic is the only feasible option for most people
